Bandwidth limiting wireless router

You can still stream on 2meg so it would be better to dial into your router and use the parental controls feature to set certain devices a timeframe where they are unable to view streaming websites in the same way you can block the adult sites etc.

Or better yet, just tell them not to do it and enforce the rules by removing their devices if they break the curfew.

Restricting bandwidth won't help as devices can buffer, no matter how slow the data is. I suppose it becomes boring waiting, but 2Mb or even slower is pretty fast still.

Best bet would be to cut it off all together at a certain time and that is very possible in the routers config to individual devices.

There are a few devices to perform exactly what you want - I have 2 of them, they are called Fing boxes, however I believe the software version does the same thing! (you can download the free version and try the feature - if it works you can unlock the full features) fing.com/pro…cts

There are many ways to achieve the same result, however the easiest way is to restrict physical access. Why not convince them to leave them on charge or that they need updated overnight?
Some might say better parenting, but it's usually those that aren't parents!

No need for any additional equipment! It should be possible from your current ISP provided router, provided it’s a modern one.

You’ll need to log in with your administrator credentials (be sure to change the password) and you’ll be able to see all connected devices at the time listed, take note (copy and paste) of its MAC and look for a section called ‘access control’ or similar and create a new entry for the device you want to restrict access to and paste in the MAC address, from here you should be able to set a schedule e.g. 22:00-08:00, Sun-Fri or whatever.
