i have a netgear router model DG834G fitted to my desktop. we bought this to run my sons laptop on wifi. Everything works fine except for him turning it off for bed time. he is 14yrs old and messes about on it sneakly until about 11pm. Due to this his school work is suffering and it will cause teenage attitude if i take it away from him.
I need to know how to switch the wifi off from the router or settings at a resonable time at night. i was told there should be a switch on router but there isn`t.

Please help me.

DG834s do not have a switch as they are designed to be left on 24/7.

I agree disable the wireless - or get your son to do as he is told.

go to internet explorer, type in the router address, probably 192.168.1.1, username normally "admin" and password normally "password" unless anyone has changed it. Somewhere in there you will see wirless settings and wireless security. you can "enable" or "disable" the wireless.
