Can I set a schedule to turn off wifi overnight?

I only have the bog-standard broadband router and it seems like I can't do anything with it!!

@Nat1091  you need the white coloured hub and the WiFi max subscription to add any type of parental controls

@Nat1091 the easiest way is to fit a timeswitch the the mains supply. However the hubs are designed for 24/7 usage so if off at night will miss routine updates etc.

That's correct: the 'Broadband Boost' supplement no longer includes the Broadband Buddy app which did Parental Controls.
