TbmnL Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 hello all,is it possible to block or "turn off" their wireless access temporarily? i'm not exactly trying to prevent someone from accessing my network, it's just i'd like to limit my daughter's internet time. her laptop's in her room and i've caught her going on the internet instead of doing school work or going to bed on time. is there a program or even the possibility to give me the capability to "turn off" her internet for the day through my computer? or something that's kind of like a timer? if anyone can give me tips, thanks in advance!

homecomputeraid Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Will anyone else require access to the wireless while she's supposed to be offline? If not, you could just turn off the radio portion of your router when you don't want your daughter to be online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I would think turning the radio portion off would be your best bet unless someone else wants to use it. You could probably even schedule it to shut off. Anyother way involves changing router settings or downloading some sort of software.
