How do I block Internet access at certain times?

Create and apply Schedules to your children’s devices to make sure that Internet access is not available during certain times, like Bedtime or Study Time.

Using your DigiFam app…

1. Create a Schedule

Create Schedules to limit your children’s access to the Internet during certain times:

Click ‘Schedule‘

Click the ‘ADD SCHEDULE‘ button

Select the ‘Name‘ field and rename the Schedule to one that you will recognise (e.g. Kate’s BedTime)

Click the ‘From’ and ‘To’ fields and edit the times to suit

From represents the time from which the Schedule will apply and from when there will be NO Internet access

To represents when the Time at which the Schedule will switch off and at which time Internet access is available again

Click the Days of the Week when the Schedule will apply (if the circle is highlighted in Orange, then the Schedule will apply)

You can apply up to 2 Time Slots per Schedule – this means you can select 2 distinct periods in a day when Internet access is NOT available

Now Click ‘Apply to Device/s‘

You will be presented with a list of the devices connected to your DigiFam network*

Click the toggle button ‘Unselected‘ beside the device to which you want to apply the Filter List – this will now change to ‘Selected‘.

Click the Save button (checkmark, top right hand corner)

Congratulations! You have now created the Schedule and applied it to the device. You can apply multiple Schedules to a device.

*If you have both DigiFam WiFi (Home or Pro) and DigiFam Mobile, you will need to make sure that you apply the appropriate Schedule to your child’s device in both the WIFI tab and in the Mobile tab

Using your DigiFam Customer Portal…

1. Create a Schedule

Click on Schedule >New Schedule

Here you will give the schedule a name (for example, Night Time)

Select a timeslot period and days of the week to activate the schedule

The times you choose means there will be no internet access

Click save once you have finished

Now, Apply the Schedules to your child’s device(s) by:

Going to your Devices page (Wi-Fi, Mobile or both)*

Select a device

Select the ‘Apply schedule‘ tab

Click the ‘+ Apply schedule‘ button on the right-hand side

From the Dropdown menu, select your schedule and click ‘Save‘

Congratulations! You have now created the Schedule and applied it to the device. You can apply multiple Schedules to a device.

*If you have both DigiFam WiFi (Home or Pro) and DigiFam Mobile, you will need to make sure that you apply the appropriate Schedule to your child’s device in both the WIFI tab and in the Mobile tab
