Works on Tendra Nova/ BtHub/ Plusnet One

It works, I can see all devices connected.
You need to write your admin password and your router password ( no WiFi details)
Before buying the app look at the compatible routers. I have BT hub6/ Plusnet One and Tendra Nova W6.

Only giving 4* because is still need an improvement: ej: being able to schedules weekdays and weekends on child profile (people) I can only apply for one, meaning I have to change it every time when weekends is coming. Setting the time is not the best, every 15’ ej: if I want to add 22:32 I can’t is eight 22:30 or 22:45.
Please make it every minute.

My Weekdays ( school time) is different times than weekends.

Also to add individual schedules for each device would be great.
Please can you add that on your app.
I would love to give a 5 *
Thank you. Looking forward to seeing a new update with my suggestions.

This hasn’t worked for us: uninstalling

We were soooo excited about the promise of this app. With two teenage children who need to do more homework and less going awol online, an app that would allow us to block their devices while allowing us to keep working online seemed perfect. We’ve spent days now (1)trying to get it to find all the devices at all (2) having then found the devices, we blocked 2 of the 11 that were attached to the router. (3) the blocked devices were still online for a couple of days. (4) we have a support request that has not been answered 3 days later. So, (5) deciding to abandon use of the app, we reconnected the blocked devices, checked and rechecked, rebooted, despite having done this several times for a couple of days the devices remain blocked. So, finally (6) we are going to uninstall the app and sincerely hope that allows us to get back to normal and re-connect the devices. It’s been a wholly frustrating experience. The interface and instructions are not super clear and what happens when you start to use it has been, for us, really frustrating. We’ll be asking for a refund.

Developer Response ,

Hi

Sincere Apologies for your frustrations!
Your sky hub does not follow the usual parental controls, requiring a reboot of devices to get them to forget about ipv6, and pickup a new ip range. in addition there’s been a bug we caught with the hub v1 2.4ghz only model (not the q) that needs released ASAP that fails to clear the routers reserved addresses. Will explain your frustrations.
With the sky and now tv hubs it follows a different design but was not designed correctly for these hubs. It does work great for other routers. We’ve released a separate app that addresses these problems and allows us to correct issues with previous shoe horning the sky and now tv hubs into this app. As there’s various setup required that’s different from all others.
Our youngest sons back in hospital and not been right all week, along with holidays, so apologies for no replies to emails.
We’ve fixed the bug, will be in next update.
In addition you can download the sky specific app free , search ‘wifi skyenowtv hub remote’ or see other apps by us. Please try this app, you’ll get your blocked devices back and have it working with scheduling. Read the app description it states some notes about if you reboot your router, your devices don’t show as active, until they connect back in.

Apologies again,
Kind regards,
Support@wifi-blocker.com.

Great App

This app has been amazing for controlling my boys midnight xbox box playing, I had schedules set so I didn't need to have the argument of getting them off it has been the best fiver I have spent on an app!!!

At the moment we are experiencing some difficulties with it not working correctly, getting stuck on a block and no schedules etc. BUT the support has been great, have sent all the requested info and they are looking into it.

Given they have got a lot of personal stuff going on I think we can suffer another few weeks of arguing with our kids over coming off the xbox and when it is back up to full speed I can set my schedules again 😊
