Looking for a decent home router that has mac address filtering that isn't retarded.

My dad wants to block internet access at night because my retard brother keeps wasting his night playing games and tries to sleep all day. Dad works nights so there's nothing he can do to stop it short of kicking idiot brother out.

His current router will only block one time period during the day. Any time I try to put in a time frame from 11pm to 6am it save the settings. If I try to put 6pm to 6:30pm it saves just fine.

I'd love to be able to have multiple settings, say one time frame for each day. Most that I have seen only allow one set time frame to block and then you can select which days it falls on.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

What router do you have now? If it is compatible with DD-WRT you can manage those restrictions without needing to purchase a new router.

He has a netgear modem/router combo at the moment. He also lives 500 miles away so I was hoping to have a plug and play system that I could then setup for him via teamviewer session.

I have thought of DD-WRT though since it gives such expanded capacity, I would have to flash it here and then send it to him, which is a possibility.
