Access Control automatically turn on/off by schedule
I really like the Access Control feature, which allows me to block access to internet for my childrens devices (selected by MAC address) during the night, while at the same time still allowing my wife and I to access internet. But, is there a way to have Access Control turn on/off automatically each evening? It seems that if you could just allow it to be connected with the existing Schedule feature this would be real simple to add. If this is not currently possible, can you PLEASE add this ability to the WNDR3400v3? Or is there a better way to do this?Parental Controls: Blocking device based on time schedule
There are multiple inactive community discussions dating back several years with people asking for the ability to set time schedules for individual devices (using MAC addresses or whatever). For example, I want to turn off wifi to my kid's device at a certain time of evening on a school night, but not affect all devices. I may want to have a different time schedule for a younger child than an older child. I may want to limit access to wifi at different times of the day. There should be clear, straight-forward solutions to these issues. Here is a response from Netgear from back in 2015: "Re: Blocking device based on time schedule NETGEAR is working to implement the feature in the near future. You may check the updated FAQs. http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24580/~/c3000%2Fc3700-faqs Regards, JamesGL Community Team" Why is this so difficult? Why doesn't Netgear answer this request after so many years?? This should be at the top of the list of any parental feature offered!!
