looking for a router that has 2 SSIDs where 1 can be put on a time schedule
I have used Netgear routers and networking equipment for the past 15 years. I work at a homeless shelter and want to limit the time that they can sing in while allowing the staff and volunteers to have access 24 by 7 the ability to sign in. Also need to be ability to for parental control. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks I'm advance.
Re: looking for a router that has 2 SSIDs where 1 can be put on a time schedule
You could set up a time schedule for a certain range of IP addresses (say 192.168.0.100 - 192.168.0.254) and assign specific IP address for the staff and volunteers in the range 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.99. Set the DHCP to only issue new IP addresses in the higher range (192.168.0.100 - 192.168.0.254)
Its a fair bit of work, but would provide the result you need. You would have 150 odd 'guest' wifi connections that you could control access for, whilst everyone else would have internet access 24/7
Most of the newer Netgear routers have guest wifi incorporated as well, which can then be isolated from the rest of your network devices. Parental Control is also available
