Can I block kids' wifi usage with time restrictions or just data usage?

I subscribed to the Family Base as a way to keep my kids from using their phones after bedtime hours. I set up time restrictions, but It seems that they are still able to use the phones during these restricted hours because they are using them at home over our wifi.  Does the time restrictions only restrict them from using their phones when data is accessed (vs. using wifi) and if so, is there a way to block this?

weety as a father myself I know how important this is to you! I also use Familybase on my kids lines. Familybase will block data sent over the cellular network for the time restrictions you have set up. This will not block wifi. What you could do, at least in your own home, is change the wifi password through your home internet provider. Then you can give it to your kids when you want them to have access to it and change it again when you don't want them to have access. So when its time for bed, time to change the password. Hope this helps!

  • Devices (iPad, iPhone) no longer can maintain wifi connectivity with time capsule

    My iPad and iPhone can no longer maintain wifi connectivity with time capsule.   Time capsule has connectivity to internet via Macbook, but not other devices.  This started after upgrade of devices to s/w 6.0.  Does anyone know if that could impact connectivity?

    Yes, this is often reported with iOS 6.. there are definitely more wireless problems.
    I recommend you reset the TC in the following ways.
    1. Change all names to SMB type.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. that includes the TC itself, wireless and hard disk. I recommend a different name for 5ghz so you can force clients to that band without auto voodoo affecting it.
    2. Use WPA2 Personal security only.. 8-12 character pure alphanumeric passkey.
    3. Lock the wireless channels.. particularly for 2.4ghz.. pick one of the channels, out of 1, 6, 11 as these are the only ones that do not overlap.. test each in turn for the best and most stable. TC should pick the best itself but that is voodoo and I am preferring to run the system without black arts.

  • I'm trying to extend my wifi network with time capsule but it can't find the existing wifi network

    I'm trying to extend my wifi network with time capsule but it can't find the existing BT wifi network even though it is there with a good signal strength. The Time Capsule is connected to a Netgear router via ethernet.

    You will need to start over on the setup of the Time Capsule as follows:
    Disconnect any Ethernet cables that might be connected to the Time Capsule, but leave it powered on
    Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule for 8-10 seconds and release. The reset button is located next to the AC power socket.
    Allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    Connect the Ethernet cable from a LAN <--> port on the Netgear to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.  The Ethernet cable must remain connected at all times.
    Click the WiFi icon at the top of the Mac's screen
    Look for a setting of New AirPort Base Station
    Click on Time Capsule
    The example below shows an AirPort Express. You will see Time Capsule on your screen.
    That will get the setup wizard going. It will take a minute to analyze the settings, then display a screen that looks like this, except you will see a picture of the Time Capsule
    Network Name..........Type in the exact name that the Netgear wireless is using
    Base Station.............Type in a name that you want to call the Time Capsule.  Use something short and simple. Mine is TC, for example
    Password..................Type in the exact password that the Netgear wireless requires
    Verify.........................Verify the Password again
    Click Next
    The setup wizard will configure everything for you automatically.  When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
    That's it.  Now you have one big "extended" network.  Technically, this is called a "roaming" network.

  • Face time with wifi only.  I have a 4Gs iPhone traveling to Japan.  Can I use face time with another 4Gs or IMacback in the States using just wifi and with I have my Celluar Data and Data Roaming off?

    Thanks,  After changing my settings in face time per your suggestion, (it needed to be done),  I turned off cellular data and data roaming and made a call using face time.  It worked!  Great way to stay in touch while overseas without the need for those egregious phone data plans. 

  • How can i fix my wifi connection with my router

    how can i fix my wifi connection with my router?

    I think I'm having a similar problem, my wifi disconnects when a bluetooth device is connected to the MBA. 
    I have a MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012) with WiFi and Apple Trackpad.  I'm unable to use the trackpad(bluetooth) and wifi at the same time.  If I turn off the trackpad then the wifi works fine and if I shutoff the wifi then the trackpad works fine.  This configuration was working fine prior to upgrading to Yosemite.
    I experienced the same problem at home and at the office.
    Additional test:
    I turned off the bluetooth trackpad and connected my bluetooth headphones to the MBA.  The wifi disconnected as soon as I paired the headphones with the MBA.
    I have had no problems with the MBA's keyboard or integrated trackpad.

  • Can i setup a wifi router with my IPad2 without using a computer ?

    Can i setup a wifi router with my IPad2 without using a computer ?

    This is going to depend on what wireless router got get. Some want to do all administration functions via a ethernet cable connection for security reasons.
    Once the router is configured, you will no longer need a computer.
    Try looking for a router that configures through a web browser & allows administration from a wifi connections.
    I think the easiest thing will be to have a friend come over & configure with a laptop.  I believe that you can configure the router without have a broadband connection.  You could configure it at a friends house. Might not want to connect to the friends broadband so not to confuse your friends broadband.  ( this is only a worry if the router also includes the broadband model.  Just a wireless router without a modem is not worry ).

  • How can i extend a wireless network with time capsule

    How can i extend an existing wifi verizon wireless network with time capsule? the router is connected on the bottom floor. want to boost the signal to a home office on the top floor, four flights up. connect time capsule via ethernet cable to iMac on 4th floor? Do I have to start a second wifi network or can I set it to just boost the one I have? thank you

    How can i extend an existing wifi verizon wireless network with time capsule?
    It all depends on what you mean by "extend".
    If you plan to "extend" by connecting the Time Capsule to the Verizon router using a wired Ethernet cable, this can be accomplished.
    If you were hoping to connect the Time Capsule to the Verizon router using wireless only, unfortunately the Time Capsule and Verizon products are not compatible for that purpose.
    Check with Verizon to see if they offer an "extender" or "repeater" that could be located very close to the Time Capsule.
    This would provide both more wireless coverage and also allow you to connect the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable from the "extender" or "repeater".

  • Using the Network Three Wifi Dongle with Time-capsule

    Hi folks, i have just joined the forum today but have been an apple user for 2 years now. I do not use a router to get on the inter as I have recently purchased the 3 WiFi Dongle (mifi) and just wirelessly connect my ipad, iphone and macbook pro to it. My question is can I connect my macbook pro to my dongle and also to time-capsule wirelessly at the same time or is it only 1 device at a time?
    Also is there a way I can connect my USB wifi Dongle to my time-capsule and just have everything connecting to my Time-capsule?
    Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Dave

    Welcome to the discussion area, harperdg33!
    You might want to take a look a device this this USB Broadband Adapter to provide an ethernet signal to your Time Capsule, which in turn could act as the wireless router for your network.
    The key element with any adapter like this is to verify that it supports your particular service, so you may need to do some checking about this.

  • Can I recover photos I deleted with time capsule?

    Hi,
    I am trying to recover 1 year full of photos (aprox 10,000) from my macbook pro. the memory is almost running out of my hard drive and when this happened around last year I did a backup of my entire computer with an WD external HS, and thought I had saved them. Now I cannot find my old photos on the external HD. I do not know the path to the photos and it is not easy to find them by looking at backups through path names. They were on the original path of the default iPhoto library. From the library, I can only see a few photos, which are not the originals I loaded.
    Questions:
    1. Since I cannot find them on the HD (which is 3/4 full now) I wonder if I could recover them by using time capsute?
    2. I would also like to know if I use time capusule, and recover those files, do I loose the new ones?
    3. What is the path to identify where photos are in iPhoto?
    4. How do I only retrieve photos from the HD, I find it impossible to do this the way the data has been saved. I am trying to group all photos into anther HD.
    Thanks,
    Helene

    How was the backup to Time Capsule done?
    If done with Time Machine, you do realize that files backed up by Time Machine are not kept forever.
    How full is the drive on Time Capsule?
    1, The iPhoto library is usually kept in ~/Piucture/iPhoto Library which is a database. It is usually recommeded that you don't access this directly but use iPhoto.
    2, I would copy iPhoto Library to another place just in case.
    3, ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library unless you moved it some place else instead.
    4, The directions to move the iPhoto library are in this article

  • Can I use Ipad2 wifi + 3g with 2g network?

    I have Ipad2 3g+wifi. Can I insert a microsim with 2g connection and download data? I am based in India.

    Thanks for the reply. I inquired about the availability of microSim card. Will be getting one from Vodafone. Yeah I know 2G is slow. But 3G services have been rolled out quite recently here, and hence are very expensive. So will have to use 2G for now. Thanks again!

  • Wifi access and time restrictions

    I placed a time restriction on my kids phone where they cannot text call, etc from 10pm to 6am.  However, we do have a wifi in the house.  Can they still access services and features thru the house wifi (AT&T) with their Verizon phones?

    Yes.
    You could check your wifi router to see if there are options for restricting using through the router itself.

  • Is there anyway to manage my contacts or an app so that I can temporarily block text messages at certain times of the day?

    Hi,
    I am wanting to block text messaging that I sometimes receive from clients after hours, and I want to know is there an app like there is for android phones that has lists that you can create so certain people can be sent an auto reply when they send you a message?
    I don't want to block the numbers completely just at weekends and/or after hours and I still want to be able to receive phone calls from those numbers as an option.
    I am on the Vodafone NZ network
    Thanks
