Is there an app that will allow me to block Wi-Fi from iPads and TVs - would be handy if I could do this remotely.

Scheduling and grouping of devices would be good too (ie no TVs and iPads before school!!)

I’ve tried and paid for the Wi-Fi blocker app but you have to be connected to the Wi-Fi to block gadgets.

Also it only shows the Mac addresses - I have no idea which tv I’m blocking!!!

I do it via my BT home hub manager, does your router have similar capability?

The app does the same as the bt home hub but you have to be on the Wi-Fi to do it.
I’ve done some more searching on the TVs and managed to work out which is which.

Would be good to have an app though that would give them maybe an hour of Wi-Fi and then it’s switched off

A Fing box will do this. And you can access that via the cloud to make any changes.
