Complication is that such a program would need to run on the router/gateway/wireless/firewall device.




Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

depending on the make/model of your router you can set up parental controls by MAC address, I do this with my kids in order that they aren't on their devices when getting ready for schools and at bed time.

When they are naughty they off time is easily extended and when they are good things return to normal.
