Hi
I have parental controls enabled for my son. However, I am wanting to limit his time on the internet. The time limit in parental controls limits time logged in to computer. He has a lot of work to do, which he uses the mac for, but I don't want him 'distracted' from his work. Is there any way the internet usage can be controlled independently from time logged in?

A quick search shows that 10.7 (Lion) is required for Airport Utility 6.
Maybe now I will upgrade as I am running Snow Leopard (10.6.8).

Here a couple screen grabs of the feature in AirPort Utility 6.

With CB, you can set as many on & off's as you like for each day and restrict time within each period. You can set different limits for each day.
ie
on> 10.00am - off> 6.00pm restricted to 3hrs use within this period. The user, just hits an on/off button when they want to access the Internet, until the time limit expires.
This would have been almost perfect for my needs. Not sure if it hogs a lot of memory, but it did seem to slow my mac down and I often got the spinning beach ball when I tried to change settings or when I needed to extend the allowable internet usage when my son 'needed a little more time'!

Hi Matt
Sounds perfect for my needs.
I will check to see if it will work with my older Airport.
Thanks

Parental Controls - internet time restriction?
