Blocking PS4 gaming

SajKhan — Sun, 07 Nov 2021 18:32:36 GMT

Hi all, any advice will be much appreciated. So my son is addicted to his PS4 had issues with him playing too much. I saw a discussion on here ages ago detailing how to block game time in Ethernet security settings. Tissues how I limited play time without his knowledge as he would constantly try to reset the router in the hope it would reset any blocks.
Fast forward to the present day I have received a new router and can no longer login with the password settings anymore. I'm not sure if it's due to it being new or the login details have changed. Used to "admin" as user and "sky" as password on this page. Any suggestions please? Much appreciated.

If you have the sr203 or sr204 the username is admin and password is your wifi security key

Thank you the login combo worked never thought of that. However when I login and try to update any changes it loses internet connection?

What browser are you using? Can you use an alternative?

Also are you able to access the router login via an etherneted device?

If that fails then hold down the reset button on the back of the router for 10 seconds until the lights flash . This will default to factory settings

I believe there is an issue with the Sky web interface & iPhones/Safari. Try using a different browser/device

Hey @SajKhan,

FYI you can turn on your Broadband Shield to block online gaming, the only reason I know this is I turned it on once and WW3 started in my house 😂
