I have 14 + devices - how do I control each one individually (on/off, time of day, etc.)?

  Not sure if your Netgear router supports blocking internet connections for certain devices at all.  Check your user manual.

  Netgear LPC is supposed to block based on time for certain filtering levels, and you can configure bypass accounts for users (not devices!).

  You do this at https://netgear.opendns.com/

  Hi,

  Currently, our service does not have the ability to completely turn off internet access to clients.  However, your router may have options to disable the wireless signal at certain time of day. Depending on your router, you can set scheduled block (as explained on http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WNDR3400V2/WNDR3400v2_UM_03APR2012.pdf - page 62 & 76).  

  Regards,

  Hi

   

  I have not seen this possible with OpenDNS or the router, but what you could look at is combining "house rules" with "device rules".

  Ive done this with Norton Family (there is a free version) you could also look at Windows parental controls (I preferred Norton).

  With me using both options, I get to control each device for time of day access, but I know that if a new device comes to my home, then the house rules are still there based on my router firewall and OpenDNS.

  Maybe I should start a post that shows how I am set up and then other can also contribute as there could be some good ideas and some tips.
