I want to:
Control the times of day my children or other home network users are allowed to access the Internet and even types of websites they can visit.
For example, I want to allow my children’s devices (e.g. a computer or a tablet) to access only www.tp-link.com and Wikipedia.org from 18:00 (6PM) to 22:00 (10PM) at the weekend and not at other times.
