    Hi

    What Router do you have, make and model? (grab the manual of the router and have a read for filtering or blocking)

    As some come with content filtering in which you can schedule an IP/MAC address (as in the PS3) for specific times of the day or limit bandwidth.

    Need the whole model number to check if it has the ability to limit a user.
