Are there such thing as a “programmable” wirless router that’ll grant me to have control over which “computer” has access to the router at a certain time?
I’ve PS3 and TiVo that’s wirelessly connected, but I only want them to aceess my wirless router from say midnight to 5AM.
If there are such thing as a “programmable” router can you name me some good ones?
Answer:
Get yourself a DLink Gamer Lounge (DGL-4300) wireless router off of Ebay. The setup program has various settings you can change to control access to the network at different times. You can even throttle bandwidth to certain connections when the router detects certain games.
Answer:
I'm not sure which ones can (or can't) but I know the router that Verizon uses for my internet has an option to block/allow access to the internet on a schedule. Never used it though.
Just curious, why would you want to restrict your TiVo from connecting? I assume the PS3 is so someone can't be on it during those times.
