With a modem/router like mine (Asus DSL-AC68U) you can set rules that only specific MAC addresses are allowed to connect and any others - spoofed or not - will be rejected.
Then there are time schedules that can be set again for specific MAC addresses.
Pretty good solution really.
So what happens if you spoof the MAC to that of a device that is white listed and is allowed onto the system?
As a former son, I can assure you they are hard-wired to resist control. Rather than seek a technological solution a direct bargaining session is needed - it may be bribery but getting Apple to fix it won't work.
Phil from BT Customer Services in Middlesbrough has found a solution in Parent Controls which seems to be working. He suggested I could include gaming in my Parent Controls, and with BT Hub 2 you can schedule times for when Parental Controls are ON/OFF. Mine run from 10pm to 7am. My son has not been able to overcome this and because he can no longer play games after 10pm he goes to bed at a proper time. Hoorah 🙂

Which will require the parent to log him on every time he wants to use the PC and once logged on, the child can find the password for his particular log on relatively easily if he knows how and if he doesn't know he soon will with a search of the Internet.
