restrict broadband

[#1]

Hi, is there any way to program when broadband is available. i would like to be able to disable the router at a certain time at night so the kids don't continue to use and therefore get a good nights sleep. Also i have just upgraded to fibre will the router password have changed? Thanks

Hi,
I don't know anything about fibre modems, but what I do know is that any reasonable quality modem (router) will let you set timed availability of the BB.
No doubt some one here will have a better answer for you.

Any decent router would allow that via the GUI and multiple rules for different address ranges (eg allow you 24hr access, but limit everyone else to 17:00-17:30 ) - usually though an "access control" page group*. However, opinions differ on whether the 582n is in that category 
(I refused the offer of a 582n when changing to fibre, even after a "no postage" offer was made - but already had a backup for my router)

Just got a 582n installed on last Wednesday with my new fibre broadband 
I saw the option for timed access in the menues but didn't open it up
So I believe it does do as the OP requires

I have a Tecnicolor 582n.
Anyone know how I can restrict the times my daughter can access the net via her device?
Thanks in advance

I think K9 has a variety of settings available, I used in the past to control what my grand children could access.

Thanks Anniesboy.
I need to find a way to do it through the router though.

Thanks Jelv, looks complicated but will give it a try (I'm really not a technical person).
Those instructions are for a TG587n where mine is a TG582n. Do you think it would work the same.
I'm terrified of breaking it!!

They are very similar so I think it should work.

Hi
Log into your router GUI, select home network on left hand side, then access control and then under Device Access Scheduler select the device you wish to restrict from the drop down box. Click add then under Current scheduled devices click edit which then takes you Device Access Editor and then select the time you want the restriction.
This is for TG582n
Hope this helps.

Yes, those instructions also work with the TG582n.
Once you try it's not as difficult as it first looks and if you do get in trouble a factory reset will put the router back to how it was when you first got it -- you're not likely to break anything however hard you try. 
If your router has firmware 10.2.5.2 or you upgrade to this firmware then access control can be configure from the routers GUI as per davidg52's instructions above.
If you're not running R10 firmware you can download it together with the update tool here:

If you're unsure of upgrading yourself, you can ask in the forum for Plusnet to push the new firmware to your router.

I did it!!
I did something technical.
And nothing's broken!
Thanks to everyone for all your help. You're very wonderful people!
