Time restrict one MAC address?

I'm really surprised there is not a way to restrict internet access by MAC.  I think just about everyone offers this, i know my 2 previous routers did.  I'd like to request that feature be included in a future update please.

  • I think it is available.  Look under advanced settings in orbilogin.com

      Hello thedonva

       

      It is located under Advanced-Security-Access control there you can block and allow devices by mac.

        The only blocking I can find is Total.  I have children and have always had the oppertunity to time control there access to the netweork from 09:30 till 21:00 but under this system I can only allow or exclude access, is that correct? an if so why?.   It seems stupid in the settings do not allow better security
