At my house, the kids all use WiFi, while the adults use Ethernet. I want to let the adults use the Internet at any hour, while denying access to the kids at 9:30 PM. I also want to keep them off in the morning until half an hour after wake-up time.
The adults are connected to the router via Ethernet (using 3 of the 4 slots on the router), and the 4th port is open so that we can connect a Blu-Ray player in a different room (this is meant to be annoying, because it shouldn't happen very often).
Is there a way to disable WiFi between 9:30 and the morning? I'd prefer an easily implemented and flexible software solution, rather than using a timer or some similar solution.

1Which router are you using. Depending on the model and the OS it is running it might be as simple as sending a single command to turn WiFi on or off. (Or even to add that command to cron). – Hennes – 2013-02-03T00:16:10.360
If you open your browser, go to http://www.routerlogin.net and login using admin and password (or whatever you changed it to), then under Advanced / Wireless Settings do you see an option to Turn off wireless signal by schedule?
