- In your router software find Schedule.

- The easy way would be to check All Day and Every Day.

- You may want to be more specific.

- You can uncheck the days you don't want blocking in effect, say Saturday and Sunday.

- You can enter a time to start blocking.

- Keep in mind that your router uses military time so 1:30 p.m. would be 13:30.

- Enter a time to end blocking. Click Apply.

- Now the blocks you set up will only be in effect on the days you specified and at the times you specified.

- You can always go back in and make changes to the schedule.
