Archer C7 - Parental Control Challenge

Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version :

I am trying to setup some very basic parental/usage control on my Archer C7. To be honest when in go into the parental or access control area it is somewhat confusing. All I want to be able to do is to deny internet access for certain devices on my network during certain periods of time. For example, deny the imac access to the internet between 10pm and midnight. Or put another way, allow the imac to access the internet until 10pm. Unless I am missing something it seems that via the parental/access controls you can specify times for access or no access but you must also specify the internet sites. While it is great to be able to deny certain sites (a good feature), in some cases i want to deny access to the internet altogether. I can't believe I seem unable to set this up (perhaps I am missing something). I have been through the documentation and searched the web but haven't found anything to help me setup a basic denial of internet access after 10pm.
The other thing that seems strange to me is that if you do setup a device on the network to have access to a certain site on a certain schedule then it that is the only access that then works and only for that device (ie. other devices have no access to the internet at all).
Any guidance on this and/or related parental/access setup much appreciated. Thank you.

If your router's guest network has scheduling, I suggest you use it if you want to only control the schedule WIFI times.
