Recommend to me a wireless Router that......

Hi,

I don't have any problems with my current Netgear setup. I just need a
recommendation for a new wireless router that can be configured to
automatically block access to particular mac id's in my home after a certain
hour. I just want to be able to "shut down" the kids internet access after a
certain time in the evening with doing in manually all the time!

Thanks for your help,
Bill

You may receive a lot of parenting advice (this sort of question tends
to elicit that here). I decline to tell you how to raise your kids.

You can do the research yourself: the User Guides for the major SOHO
wireless routers are available from the mfr's websites. For example,

http://www.linksys.com
http://www.dlink.com
http://www.buffalotech.com/

I haven't had the need to look for this info for most brands, but I can
tell you that the Linksys WRT54GL (and probably all of the Linksys
wireless routers) can do exactly what you want. See pp. 48-50 (pdf
pages 56-58) of the UG, which can be downloaded here:
