I want to stop my teenage son connecting to the wifi at night

I want to prevent my teenage son connecting to WiFi at night. My sky currently says I can only change settings for all devices.

@Garethjd you would have to buy Sky's WiFi Max hub as that has parental,controls down to a device level see https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-wifi-max-parental-controls

65inch Sky Glass, 3 Sky Streaming Pucks, Sky Ultrafast + and Sky SR213(white Wifi Max hub) main Wifi from 3 TP-Link Deco M4 units in access point mode

Note that's not actually correct: this is because you have Sky Q with more than one Mini box (or booster)

There's no geographic restriction on WiFi Max (or any technical reason there should be)

 

However Sky doesn't currently supply Max to properties where multiple Sky Q television devices are in use because there's an incompatibly in the two wireless mesh systems: this appears to generate a message of not available at the address which then gets misinterpreted.
