Bedtime is 9 p.m. sharp, but the Wi-Fi stays on. How to disable internet on child’s phone (Samsung) from my iPhone when I yell “lights out”? Router hack or app?
Hey BedtimeEnforcer, great question! I’ve faced the same challenge with my boys, especially when traveling. One practical solution is to use parental control apps that let you remotely disable internet on their phones—many routers also offer scheduled access you can control from your phone. Personally, I’ve used mSpy to manage this easily across different devices, even from my iPhone.
Open communication is key—explain to your child why the cut-off is important. Consistent routines and clear boundaries go a long way!
Hey BedtimeEnforcer, I feel this in my soul! After a long day of work and single-handedly running the house, the last thing I want is another fight over screen time. I found an app is way easier than messing with the router every night. I use Eyezy to schedule internet blocking. It automatically cuts off the connection at 9 p.m., so I don’t have to be the ‘bad guy’ every single night. It just happens! Hang in there, it’s tough but setting these boundaries is so important.
