Just bought a Netgear AC1200 to replace my old Linksys Wifi router. My old router allowed me to set up time restrictions on specific devices, so that the wifi was cut off to my kids' devices late at night. I thought from reading the box that Netgear could also do this, but I can't find it in the parental controls. Please let me know how to set this up - thanks!

Hi @dugnsarah,
The Parental Controls feature will allow you to set filtering level on the connected devices on the network and does not cut off the Internet connection. You can check the links below for an overview of some of the features of LPC (Live Parental Controls).

However, if you want to cut off the Internet access on the connected devices, you can use the Access Control feature either via the router's UI or through the NETGEAR Genie app. You can check the links and steps below:
