How do I set the router to lockout devices after certain times?

I want to lock my kids out from the router at night,  Is it possible to set devices to only be able to access the router at certain times?  I don't want to turn the modem off every night, I just want to be able to lockout specific devices.  Is that possible?

    Yes.  On your Admin page, there should be a Wireless Tab and a Parental Control section.

      The Router's Admin page, or my Cox Account Admin Page.  My Cox Account admin page does not allow me to configure access.  I have been told by multiple Cox techs that their modems are not enabled to configure access by time.  That answer seems a little lazy, but it may be accurate.

        Your router.  I wouldn't think Cox offered a router without Parental Controls.

    Kids are lucky nowadays.  They're only locked out of routers at night; I was locked in the cellar.
