Router that can schedule Internet Access by client pc

I am after a router that can schedule internet access at specific times by computer i.e. computer A can only access the internet between 1700-1930hrs, computer B between 1500-1700hrs and so on?

Also can the Netgear DG834G do this? as I have a friend who is on Vodafone@home and has this router supplied by them and wants to do this.

Have just bought the DG834N and sure it could. In the admin section there's 'Scheduling' section that allows me to apply particular Firewall rules for any specified time/date

I imagine you could create a new rule that says blocks access for a certain IP and set it run only at a set time.

It looks pretty easy to do as I have just had a quick look at the admin panel.

The Linksys routers can do this, my WAG354 does it nicely.
