If you want to restrict internet traffic at particular times of the day (or night), you can create your own scheduled rule to use when setting up Access Control.

In this example, we're going to set up a scheduled rule to block all internet traffic between the hours of 9pm to midnight.

1. Start by reserving an IP address for the computer or computers you wish to restrict internet traffic for
2. Open the Bright Box router's admin pages and navigate to the Firewall menu

4. From the schedule rule page, select Add Schedule Rule




5. Enter a name and comment for the rule - in the example below we've called our rule BLOCK9-midnight
6. In the Active Time Period field, enter a time for the rule - in the example below we want the rule to be active every day between the hours of 21:00 and 23:59
7. Click SAVE SETTINGS




8. The scheduled rule will be saved




9. Your rule will be displayed




10. Next, select Access Control and select Add Device Filtering Rule

12. Enter the IP address of the device you want to block the internet for between nine and midnight




13. Scroll to the bottom of the page
