Creating a separate kids only wifi from my sky router

[Stuart34]

I'm trying to set up two separate networks from my sky router. One to control kids activity and one for parents. How can i do this?

@Stuart34 Sky's hubs do not offer that facility. You can control children's devices access hours using the parental controls thst come as part of the WiFi Max bundle see https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-wifi-max

As a minimum you would need a much more sophisticated router with the ability to broadcast more than one SSID, and probably VLAN functionality.

Thanks alot. Can i plug in any new router or does Sky restricit this?

@Stuart34 

There are some technical restrictions: do you have FTTC or FTTP?

Easiest option would be to add a separate WAP (wireless access point) with it's own SSID & password. Then change the password on the Sky Hub.

Great thanks alot.

Bear in mind that this will only be a temprary solution until they become tech savvy, as devices can easily be factory reset to default. The only real solution is respect for the house rules, enforced with confiscation of devices when breached.
