Can I switch off my sky WiFi remotely?

[Anya101]

I need to be able to switch off sky WiFi when kids kick off! No longer have sky buddy and sky shield just restricts ! Any ideas please, greatly appreciated. Thanks.

@Anya101  With Sky there is only the max broadband subscription that can do this and is similar to broadband buddy information about this can be found below.

Thank you, I will have a look. It might just be worth the extra !

@Highlinder It's worked, I've upgraded to Sky Max and I can switch the Wi-Fi off from my phone easily and also add individual schedules for each child. Thanks for your help.

But unfortunately kids are smarter enough to reconnect to wifi by using the password.

Is there a way we could completely disable the wifi via app that kids cannot reconnect  by using the password ?

Wether you use parental controls or pause devices. No point changing password,,as that is visible on their devices too.

I have a 15 yr old nocturnal, that won't get up for school. Is there a way to turn internet off completely through app, so im the only one that can do it.

As if off they can't reconnect...

I completely agree. It seems no point of paying extra for Wifimax as kids can reconnect very easily ( I have a 14yr old)

Is there another way we could get a sole control on the wifi?

The Wi-Fi max app is not changing the password but blocking the device to access the Wi-Fi. I have same feature on my TP-Link app.

How would the 14 year old access the internet unless they got hold of the parents phone to unblock their device??
