You need to configure it on the router - what model is it?

You want the advanced settings, and then "access controls" - http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/hardware/plusnet-2704n-advanced.shtml

What's happened kids? Oh dear, I think it's a new system the service provider have introduced for customers with children, I vaguely remember getting an email about it. There's nothing I can do for at least a month after it starts - sorry!

Of course, it's just an incentive for the kids to

1) learn how to hack the router (I hope you changed the admin password)
2) learn how to hack other stray wifi signals from neighbours
3) Get a PAYG 4G dongle with their pocket money

...but you'll have set them off on a path to IT careers ;-)
