Wifi control via Genie app

Hello, I have a question regarding the Genie app. Is it possible to turn off your wifi signal from the app? I want to be able have my wifi signal off until my kids have gotten up and done their chores, then I will turn it on for them from work either from the app or desktop. Or, if they are fighting I can then easily turn it off.

 

Thanks in advance for your feedback. I'm thinking about buying the R7000 router if I can have this ability.

I would like to use it on Android, or PC.

Thanks for your help!

Have you looked into the use of Parental Controls?

 

This is something that you can set up with the Android genie.

 

The R7000 supports this. See page 59 of the manual

 

R7000 | Product | Support | NETGEAR

 

It allows you to set time slots when the wifi network goes off line.

 

If you are using a PC, you can just go in there and turn access on and off.

I will look into that. I didn't think to download the manual.

I've used schedules before, but what I'm really looking for is something that is more like an on/off switch that I can access through a mobile app.
