Internet Access Control

With this option, you can deny Internet access to specific clients during specific days and times of the week. This can be useful if you have children in your home and you want to regulate their Internet usage or if you have multiple people in your small business using the same computer over different shifts and you don't want specific employees to be able to access the Internet.

Note: If you want to use this feature, you must configure the router to synchronise its time with at least one Internet time-of-day server. See Time synchronization for more information.

For detailed steps on configuring your own Internet Access Control rules, see the Parental Controls section on the Tutorials page.
