@zabs, have a look at the following post and scroll down thru the rest of the thread from there. Hopefully that will describe what you are trying to set up.
There is another user who determined that if you selectively set the time zone of the modem, you can run a denial time past midnight in our timezone. What you do is set the time zone so that midnight of the selected time zone corresponds to the earliest time that you want to block. So, if that time was for example starting at 10 pm to 7 am, set the timezone so that modem midnight started at 10 pm our time. So, if you wanted to run more than one cut-off period, set the modem timezone so that modem midnight started at the time selected for the first cut-off time. You should be able to then run more than one cut-off time. That will require you to experiment with two cut-off times to see if the modem will cooperate.
These devices would be considered on par with the most very basic stand alone router.. barely having any parental controls at all 😞
(at least these ones have SOME.. some of the earlier ones didnt have any at all, beyond device filtering)
This is where using a 3rd party router can serve better, mostly in options/features.
I am currently using an ASUS router.. and it has much better parental controls.
Much more filtering options. And the setting of times is done in 1 hr blocks. You click on/off each specific block on each day. So allows you to have 2 hours in the morning, a gap, then 3 in the eve, etc.
Yeah.. its unfortunate that we need to 😞
Really if people want more than just the basic basic settings.. and want any sort of customization at all.. a 3rd party router is necessary.
Its unfortunately a $$ investment.
But generally most people are well served spending that investment for the extra features that one will often gain.
- More advanced parental controls
- More advanced port forwarding (no limitations on number of forwarding)
- No limits on DHCP reservations
- Stepping up to a router with external antennas, etc will often greatly increase range.
@Rdimarco try this:
1. Log into the modem and navigate to SECURITY .... DEVICE FILTER
2. Select the Show button for the connected devices and let that build in. I don't know how fast or slow that build in time actually is.
3. When the list has finished building copy the Host Name or MAC address of the device in question. Select Block Listed and Add Managed Device, which will bring up a secondary entry panel.
4. Paste in the Host Name or MAC address and select Device Managed - YES and Manage All Day - NO.
5. At this point, after you have selected NO to Manage All Day, a Day and Time selection panel will show up as part of that panel. At that point you can select the days and the times for the management. From an old CGN3 user manual comes the following:
Use the Managed Weekdays fields to specify the days on which the device should be managed. A red background indicates that the device will be managed (access will be blocked), and a green background indicates that the device will not be managed (access will not be blocked). Click a day to toggle the rule on or off for the relevant day.
Use the Manage Time Start fields to specify the period during which the device should be managed. Enter the start time in the From fields, using twentyfour hour notation, and enter the end time in the To
fields.
I remember that there's something a little goofy with the selection of the day management. If the colour indications above appear to work in reverse, as in Red turns out to be not blocked and Green turns out to be blocked, then simply reverse the choices.
You will have to set the time for the modem to your local time in the ADMIN ..... TIME SETTING. One thing to note, the managed time will not go beyond midnight, so, if you wanted to run a time block that starts before midnight and ends the next morning, you will have to set the time zone so that the modem's midnight is the same time as your desire management start time, and then set the end time as required. So, in the case of Eastern Standard time for example, if the management start time was supposed to be 10 pm EST, set the time for UTC-03:00 Newfoundland, Greenland, Brazil East, which is two hours ahead of EST (modem midnight will be at 10 pm EST). Then set the management start time for midnight and the stop time for how many hours you want the management time to last.
That should hopefully do what you need to do.
Good afternoon @TeamWIF!
If the steps as outlined don't work for you, please try factory resetting your modem and set it back up again from the default settings.
Let us know if the issue persists after its reset and set up as per the provided instructions.

Hello @mic7,
A warm welcome to the Rogers Community Forums! 😃
As a fellow parent, I can understand how important it is to manage your kid's Internet/screen time especially in the late hours of the night when they should be sleeping!
Parental controls are a great way to do this. While I am not familiar with the exact steps I will definitely tag in some of our Resident Experts who may have a solution for you, @Datalink, @Gdkitty, and @gp-se.
If there are any other users in the Community who are familiar with parental control settings on the modem, do not hesitate to chime in!
Thank you for posting your concern in the Community and congrats on your first post!
RogersTony
I dont have that modem to double check..
But I believe its by device? So you are entering in the MAC address of HER device?
And yeah if its 24 hr, 1am should be 01:00.
One thing to check would be what the TIME on the modem itself is showing.. if its say 3 hours behind you, you will want to adjust your time by that.
