We haven't long joined Virgin Broadband and I have been trying to get my head round the security included with the package. I have 2 kids, one boy just nearly 18 of whom I do not wish to control his access, but my 15yr old has been sneaking his mobile out in the middle of the night to play games, I then confiscated his mobile after 10pm each night but he is now using his smart TV to access internet during the night - my husband has been getting so cross that he just cuts the power to the hub from 9pm every night, which is annoying to the rest of us who need to use it after this time. I can't work out a way of just cutting out my 15yr olds access (he has a smart TV as we cannot easily or without massive expense get an aerial/signal to his bedroom for normal TV/Freeview due to the location of his room, we've even tried the portable aerials and none work) , from an internet search I have come across what looks like an US product 'Webcurfew' that on the tin seems to do exactly what I require, but just wondering if anymore with more technical knowledge than me can suggest anything apart from ripping out every piece of entertainment equipment from my son's bedroom! Many thanks in advance.

I used this on our first SuperHub, worked brilliantly.
Now we have upgraded to Hub 3.0 and cannot see any such facility.
Massive omission by VM - please please bring this back.

I am also unable to find this facility on the Hub 3.0, worked great on the original SuperHub.
Need VM to bring this feature back.

There does not seem to be any rush on VM's part to restore these features for HUB3 users...
Likely better with a better router and HUB in modem mode.

Time restrictions for devices are on the Hub 3.0 (with firmware 9.1.116V), although you do have to select all the devices to apply it to, rather than blocking everything except the device listed.

Also you can specifically block devices from connecting to Wireless separately to the timed MAC list:

Tried this, but does not work properly, more info here -
Hopefully VM will fix this soon.

Wow, thank you very much for these simple steps. Looking forward to testing I've done it right tonight.
