Oh the joys of teens. Here's the solution for PCs, laptops & tablets - they have their own wired & wireless connections from a cheap WIFI router that you can power on and off using a wifi outlet and phone app. This process should work for just about all wifi routers - even cheap ones. I've tried using MAC filtering, and access schedules/parental controls but those are easily bypassed, many just by spoofing a MAC address.

  • Buy a wifi outlet (search for alexa or google compatible or tuyasmart) these are less than $10 each if you get a multipack. These outlets allow for Scheduling too. e.g. Turn ON every day at 0600. Sun-Thu turn OFF at 10PM. Fri-Sat turn OFF at 1200 (Midnight). https://www.amazon.com/FROGBRO-Function（Compatible-Wireless-Control-Required/dp/B078YPHF52/
  • Change your home wifi password to something the teen wont be able to guess.
  • Follow the instructions that came with the outlet to install the phone app and connect it to your home wifi with the new password you just made. Make sure you can control the outlet power.
  • Recycle an old router or grab a cheap 802.11n router. I used a $15 Tenda brand router from Amazon. Plug this into the wifi outlet. Ensure you can cycle it on and off using the app.
  • Using an ethernet cable, connect the new router to the existing router as shown in the picture.
  • Login to the new router admin area and configure as an Access Point (AP). A side note, some routers will tell you to connect the ethernet cable from LAN port<->WAN port on the new wifi router and not LAN port<-> LAN port.
  • If you cannot setup as an AP from within the admin area; Assign the new router LAN IP address in the same subnet as the existing router (192.168.1.x). Make sure the IP does not conflict with your existing DHCP service by using an IP outside of the DHCP pool.
  • Disable DHCP on the new router.
  • You can then re-configure the wireless connection on the new router to something like "teenswifi" or just leave it as the default. Either way, just make sure it doesn't match the main wifi SSID.
  • Plug your teen's wired devices into the new router or connect them via the teen's wifi.
  • Now all their devices should have Internet access and you'll be able to easily control his access purely by shutting off power to his router and still provide secondary parental controls through the main router as a backstop since all the IPs/MACs from the new router will be passed to the main router.
