Of course where there is a will there's a way. Like using a cell phone for access also

Servers EnterpriseApple's AirPort Extreme wireless base-stations have a feature to do this. It is under MAC access control and you can set a time range during which the device with a specific wireless MAC address is allowed access.
Note: In this case MAC stands for Media Access Control and is nothing to do with Apple Macs. A Mac address will look something like 00:01:aa:bb:0a:2e
If you use this feature you will have to add the MAC address for every device you want to allow wireless access for but would only set the time range for those devices you want to limit time for. This means you may need to add the MAC addresses of iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, and even wireless printers.

MAC address filtering is yes indeed a standard feature of all WiFi routers, but being able to set timed rules for specific MAC addresses is not present in all WiFi routers. For example it is not possible to set a timed rule in my ISP provided router. It as I specifically mentioned available in the Apple AirPort Extreme.
