Nighthawk X6 R7900 - How to schedule blocking internet for kids computers.

Just bought this router the other day. My previous Asus router had the ability to turn off internet access per device on a set schedule. I was able to turn off the internet for my kids computers everyday @ 10PM and turn back on at 7AM. Is this possible for this model router? Otherwise i'll have to return it.

Go to Advanced -> Security -> Block Services and use port 1 - 65535 for the IP you need to block

 

In Advanced -> Security -> Schedule you can set when to block

if you want to really block everything, then all ports from 1 to 65535

Ok I think i have it figured out but it seems like I can only set only one schedule for devices. Is there a way to set more than one schedule? Like I usually had the kids PC's internet shut off at 10PM Monday-Thursday, then for them to shut off at 12AM Friday & Saturday.

Also investigate Parental Controls.

 

There is a manual for the R7900 somewhere at the end of this link:
