Does anyone know how to set a time limit by device for internet browsing on a Vodafone HG 659 modem.

I just want to restrict the amount of time each device can connect to the internet.. say 30 mins per day.

Search and ye shall find.

Section 5 ('Parental control') of this document:

Or even a search for "HG659 time limit" brings up the relevant page from another version of the manual:

What I want to achieve is to limit the elapsed time a device is able to browse the internet in terms of total duration.. so they can have 30 mins per day at 5 any time.

The current parental controls seem to limit the device by time of the day.. say browsing between 13;00 and 17:00 which is not really what I want to achieve. Essentially I want a function that provides brows for > 60 Mins. is this possible ?

Are these Windows devices ? If so, use the Microsoft Family system. Works well.
