WiFi router restrict usage time per session

I am trying to configure my WiFi router to restrict users to a session time of 30 min. I was reading through my router configuration booklet but could not find anything worthwile. It would be great if somebody can point me in a direction. Also is there a way to redirect users to a particular web page as they start their browsing session.

Router : DSL-2750U WIRELESS N ADSL2+ 4-PORT WI-FI ROUTER

Please recommend a different version of router/process if this is not good.

Thanks

Without details on the router brand and model you won't get much feedback... – Jan – 2014-09-16T07:26:37.080

Restricting user session length isn't possible with your router (time-based is possible though). You'll have more luck installing third-party router firmware, such as DD-WRT and setting up Chillispot.

Your router doesn't support DD-WRT, so you might want to replace it. Check their compatibility database first when you do decide on purchasing one.

You can restrict the time certain machines may spend online, check page 55 of the manual:
ftp://support.dlink.co.in/broadband/DSL-2750U/manual/DSL-2750U_C1_Manual_IN_1.00.pdf

To configure for MAC address blocking, enter the username into the Username field, click Browser’s MAC Address to have MAC address of the LAN device, or click Other MAC Address and enter a MAC address manually. Tick the checkboxes for the desired individual days of the week and enter desired Start Blocking Time and End Blocking Time. Click the Save/Apply button to save the configuration
