Is there a way to only allow the router to work during certain hours? I am looking for a way to control my son's computer usage online.

Yes, there is access control that you can target specific machines by MAC or IP address, and up to 10 schedules that you can apply to each. Clock seems to be using GMT time rather than EST,CST ,etc.

Yes. I have one tablet with restrictions under "Parental Controls." I logged into the Router Cloud from my PC just now, and I can change any of those settings (including ending access to the Internet). I have not tried it from an App on my tablet, but I believe it would work the same. Hope this helps.

No. Get a different router though. Even with the latest patch this one still doesn't like to play nice more than 80% of the time.

Yes. Just change the password for the router. I have a couple of these. I don't use them. I have never got them to work right. Save your sanity and buy and buy a good one.

I have not used it under those situations. If you have time to test it just make sure it has 24 to 48 hrs to really set up. Good Luck

I believe I remember a way in the setup manual but I ended up not using this router because it would not work with my router without lowering the security level and I didn't want to do that. Wish they would have said that in the product description.

You can set the hours of operation for certain devices. You can also block certain websites for certain devices or ip addresses. You can also set the bandwidth speed limit under the media prioritization section for certain type of media.

Once you program the switch it should be able to work on its own. No need for constant internet access.

A wireless router is ok. Contact tech support on how to do it when the time comes

There is a basic time day set for detecting motion if that helps. So it would only email or ftp during the hours that you set.

I don't think so... but the hour you can adjust to set automatically from de network. Regards,

Nope, just link it to your router, I had no problems with this unit, I am still using it today, no problems.

I think you can just use the regular timer for the router purpose (i.e. turn of at 10pm daily and turn on at 10.05pm daily..)

answered of tp-link staff: Dear , Many thanks for your waiting. Our senior engineers have tested the router and find that it can not block secured websites such as facebook, youtube. We are really sorry for the inconvenience caused, your understanding will be highly appreciated! Have a good day!

No, you don't need to keep your pc on just your router. Should work anywhere---if you can get in due to heavy access.

Hi Samuel! I really can't think of any other solutions, but maybe resetting your router? Try that and see what happens. Sometimes resetting can help in most situations! Like, I said I don't have any issues with it, though! If that don't help just ask around to see what works! Hope that helps!
