Internet blocking per device at specific times

Is there any way to block a device from access the internet at specific times?

All I can find is a blanket block with 1 device allowed, however:

I have 8 devices connected; 2 desktops, 2 phones, 1 iPad, 2 other tablets, and one console.


I want to block 1 of the desktops, the iPad, the console and the 2 tablets from connecting at night time, but still allow the remaining devices to have internet access...

 

Any way to do this?

Hi @dominic2005,

 

There is no specific feature on the router that can do this. However, you can setup address reservation for the devices then block all the services on a specific schedule. You can check the links below.

Hiya.

Thanks. I have just tried all that, not sure where I went wrong but it had zero affect.

Hi @dominic2005,

 

1. Were you able to successfully do the address reservation?

2. Were you then able to set the schedule you want some devices to not be able to go online?

3. Were you able to set the Block Services feature to "ALL" for the devices on the specific IP address range?

Re: Internet blocking per device at specific times

Hiya.

My apologies for not confirming this as solved, but yes, eventually I was able to get it to work. I had a few problems getting the other PC to actually not still have internet access, but I found simply turning the router off for a few moments and back on seemed to sort it.

Well...I assume it has, I've never stayed up late enough to verify it, but it worked when I did some tests at the time I was setting it all up, so assume it is all ok.


Thanks
