Not the specialist version, no.

3g is still ok for porn, turning off wifi wont keep his bedsheets pliable...

Probably not but it'll stop him using his pc when he should be doing homework.

You could buy a different, cloud managed access point. Create an SSID for you and and SSID for his stuff... then from anywhere you can disable the SSID whenever you like.

You could probably create time schedule rules for it so his xbox is disconnected at a certain time or whatever

Plenty options out there, just probably not with standard issue ISP routers?

Ta. Like I said bought a TP link so not standard issue,

Mybe you should look at disabling your own access.

Didn't you have an online porn provider chasing you for non-payment a year, or so, ago?

Ha ha. "alleged" torrent downloading yes. Not guilty, mlud.

And keep that data pipe freed up for when daddy wants to play with his pipe.

Win, win all round .

Except he'll need the internet to do his homework.

IMO trying to manage it through technology just doesn't work. It's just too easy to find a work around and if there is one out there the kids will know it better than you will. He'll still surf it away from home or get on the BT hotspots etc.

You are gonna have a tough few years managing this. There is no quick fix. You can stop technology being allowed upstairs overnight, put parental controls or something like K9 on as many devices as you can and you as a parent can step up. Turning wifi off isn't the answer.

Better to educate them than stop them.
