    Hi,

    Is there a way or a setting that I can have the broadband go off and come on at specific times using the above router.
    Have an issue with "someone" staying up most of the night online (teenager). Can I knock it off at a set time apart from pulling out the power?
    Thanks.

    you could use a timer plug, however if you have your phone service with UPC also it will not be available if the modem is powered down

    Had a look at mine and there is actually an option for this. If you log into the router and goto setup > Time of Day Rules which is under the parental controls section and fill in that part. It seems pretty basic and there doesn't look to be a way to pick specific devices but it should do the job.

    the problem with the parental controls is that you have to setup users then, now this works fine if you just use pcs or laptops, but I had issues with connecting my phone or connecting a xbox with the setup users
