How to set up parental control for the Wi-Fi

How to set up parental control for the Wi-Fi So I can access and stop and start the Wi-Fi against kids devices to limit when they can use them. It keeps telling me to download the broadband boost buddy app but I can't find such a thing on the App Store. Surely Dky must have this option??

@Zoe1982  You need the sky WiFi max subscription

That's new to sky though and isn't in every area yet? Does that mean sky have never had the ability to limit access on devices before?

[SKY1992bf]

@Zoe1982  They did with the buddy app but that has been discontinued and replaced with max

sky no longer have parental controls on non fibre products 

Sky does have broadband shield which helps restrict access by rating but you can't block devices fully

note any changes are applied to all devices you can't choose individual devices

@Zoe1982  Yes you have fibre with that you just need to add WiFi max to your subscription to get the parental controls

'Broadband Buddy' used to be the Parental Control app for Broadband Boost, but it was withdrawn several years ago.  References you see to it online are now out of date.

As @SKY1992bf said, the only Parental Controls now available through Sky are embedded in the white Max Hub and require the WiFi Max subscription supplement to unlock.
