Limiting WiFi usage for teens?

Is there a way to temporarily block WiFi access to a particular device or devices?  Seems this may be the only discipline method left for problem teens.

Parental Controls are built into the white Sky Max Hub, available to Sky Broadband subscribers who add the 'WiFi Max' supplement at an additional monthly cost.

Older black Sky Q and Sky Broadband Hubs no longer have access to Broadband Buddy, the previous control app which used to be a component of the 'Broadband Boost' add-on.

I have the older black Sky Q router, but when I go to the My Sky account, there are no upgrade options available to me and no mention of WiFi Max.

@KezJJ if you have Sky Q TV boxes the new hub isn't compatable so doesn't appear as an option.

That's not very good then.  So I can't actually follow through with my threats to restrict their WiFi access, because my sky box's are a couple of years old. 😞 

 I don't think I have the option to upgrade to anything else in my area as it's too rural.
