Hi Jeff,

With 2 easily distracted teenage daughters, I have the same goals as

you.

My d-link router claims to have some QoS (quality of service) options

where I can control the speed of certain activities, but I've never been

able to get this to work. Same for a feature that claims to block

certain IP addresses on a specified schedule, eg. block internet use

from 11pm to 6am.

As an interim solution, I had taken to hiding my router's power supply

but my kids were smart enough to find replacements that matched my

router's power specs.

My current solution is to replace the cable between my cable modem and

router with an identical looking bad cable and claim that Comcast is

having problems again ;)
