Anyone have Sky internet? Can you turn off the WiFi at certain times?

I’m a real technophobe so have no idea how to do this but I have read that you can set your WiFi so that it’s only active at certain times of the day etc.
Anyone know how to do this with a Sky router?

For everyone and everything in the household?

It’s mainly for my 14 year old ds. I want to be able to turn off the internet at certain times.

I'm not sure how you do it from the main router.
I do it from main computer by clicking the WiFi symbol and a drop down list appears. My teen was not happy!!

Thanks WowOo I’ll try that and prepare myself for the fallout!

If you have more than the basic sky you can download an app called sky broadband buddy which lets you selectively control any device connected to your internet.

Unplug the router?

If you log into your router you can have a schedule for broadband.

Does your child have data on their phone? Mine would use 4g to get around a wifi ban

just remove the phone. Phones should not be in bedrooms anyway.

if he whines, remove it for longer.
