Hello, I'm new
I do lurk and I've read a lot of threads, but this is the first time I've needed to ask!
This might not be the place either, but I can't really find a tech group. I've asked before on tech forums a few years back, but I was put down as a "meddling parent who's treating their teenager like a small child"
Firstly, I work in a tech environment, so I'm pretty clued up, however, we've just changed from BT to Sky and unfortunately, that's stopped my ability to be able to control "access times" for my DS. He's Y11 and currently doing his GCSEs so I really can't afford for him to be playing Xbox or on his laptop through the night.
Our old BT router allowed you to have multiple "times" when you could block access (so for instance, we set a rule of 10:30 on a School night, midnight on weekends, 2pm-4pm on weekends to get him to walk away for at least a couple of hours and so on).
Unfortunately, because he can't help himself, even at 15, we need to get him to leave his tech outside when he goes to bed, but there's often "something" he forgets to put out.......
Any ideas on a tech solution like an internet router or something? Happy to take advice on models etc.
