Hi

 I want to schedule on and off Internet access for the WiFi so my kids won't stay connected at night. How do I do that?

I found family time in (paying!!) parental controls but that's not it. I need to manually switch off. 
i want a schedule, preferably day wise, where I can set up a down time so no one can access internet then

Hi, 
If you can see the ECO mode in the Deco app, you can use the Wi-Fi Schedule feature to schedule your Deco's Wi-Fi.
What's the ECO mode, and how do you configure it on Deco?
 

If you can't see the ECO mode in the Deco app, try the following steps.
  1. Refer to the instructions below to check the Deco's hardware and version info(such as Deco X55(EU) V1.0) on the bottom label.
      How to Find the Hardware Version on Your TP-Link Device

  2. Go to the Deco app > More > System > Update Deco page to see your Deco's firmware version.

 

  3. Visit this link, select your Deco's hardware version, and click on Firmware to see the latest firmware version of the Deco X55. If your Deco does not have the latest Firmware, update it and check if the ECO mode appears.

Looks like you have to pay for that Parental Controls with the HomeShield Pro subscription. :(

 

It's still free on the devices running HomeCare, I just tested it out on one of my clients systems running HomeCare.

Or, as @Solla-topee says, if your device supports Eco mode you could engage it there, although that would be for all devices not just your kids.

Hi! Thanks that seems to work. I can see the Eco mode and set it up, let's see tonight. I am not sure if I need to subscribe to the Homeshield. I am currently with my trial period, so when it will finish I am not sure if I'll keep accessing the Eco mode. Paying the subscription only for this function may be overshooting. Also because I don't have advanced options like defining a different schedule every day. The alternative I am looking at is to use a smart plug like a Tapo to schedule the power supply to the router... Less teenager-proof but may work all the same... Thanks!! Alex

Hi, 
Please note that using ECO mode on your Deco does not require a HomeShield subscription.
