Restrict access via router to specific devices

We have Unlimited Broadband but not fibre. Three vulnerable men live in property and we need to restrict access to internet after 10.30 p.m. and also by device so that some sites can be blocked for some devices but not others. Also can one block access to some sites/apps on Smart TVs.
I know I can do some of this with Safeguard (and have done so) but that is quite limited -- can block sites for everyone for specific times but not for some people and not others.
I believe this may be possible with router that comes with Fibre but not sure about ordinary Broadband.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks

Here's one example of the type of thing:

If you have limited technical experience, you might need a friendly technician for the initial set up. This type of box can be remotely managed.

Check the advanced settings in the router-if it's there then you can just set it to switch off internet to certain devices at certain times.
