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.
Aye. I wish nluk.
As I'm sure I've mentioned before hes got "issues" which make things more difficult anyway.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

If you want something simple for the mrs to control, just get two wifi devices with different access so mrs can just turn one off (or press wifi on/off button if it has one) without affecting the other.
No need for any technical skills to operate whatsoever, as long as the correct one is turned off!
Edit: Obviously, you'll need to ensure the one you want to keep lad away from is locked down with no default access as per label on the device and no 'press button to connect' setup option.Last edited by Hobosapien; 12 December 2017, 16:58.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down.

Obvious solution is change password but then thats just hassle for everyone else, sky box, etc etc.
Ideal would be a way to disable for specific devices (his pc and phone, sky maybe) or allow for specific devices and be able to turn off easily (remotely if possible).
Any such thing exists? BTW got a TP link router (to replace the bog standard bt one).
Now all I need to do is restrict sky without taking card out.Originally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?
I want my account deleted and all of my information removed, I want to invoke my right to be forgotten.Comment

My friend(yes really!) had issues with his kids spending too much time in their room on their devices. So he turned off the router.
Kids : Router has gone off
Friend : I turned it off
Kids : Why
Friend : As you are not talking to anyone
Kids : We are talking to people
Friend : Not to me

Studies probably show that most adults contacting kids online aren't actually pedoes, just their parents having to use subterfuge to get a conversation out of them.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment
