My son is abusing his teenage power and I want to block his xbox from accessing the wifi. Is this possible and how do I do it?
Can I also block his phone accessing it when he supposed to be asleep?

The Sky solution for that is the Parental Control settings in the WiFi Max subscription add-on and use of the new Max Hub.

This should be a standard feature. Paying more for it just feels wrong, Sky are ripping off parents with this added £4/month feature!

Current legislation requires baseline filtering, not timed access control. Parental controls are one component of the WiFi Max subscription supplement.
