Blocking a website to laptops using my wireless router - is it possible?

  • BTW after you have done this, change the router password, the likelyhood is, if he is 14 or over he will figure out how to take this block off.

    I could have when I was 15/16 and that was 13 years ago when kids didn't know as much.

    Anything you do on the router btw, is probably only a pin !!!!! from being removed :)

    For some reason I can't get on the routers webpage at all so I've now unplugged the router and put it in my safe. This will at least stop him from using his laptop. I've also started to put the modem in the safe when we go to bed/go to work.
