Evening guys
Can anyone recommend through experience a gaming spec router with good app control so i can restrict devices that connect to my network easily.
I have 2 boys that sneak onto devices at every opportunity tia.
 
What's a 'gaming spec router'?

How do you want to restrict them?

Which ISP and what sort of connection?

What devices?

If you just want to kill access during certain hours I'd run separate wireless networks and disable the one they have access to as necessary. Hopefully none of their devices have 3G/4G connectivity.
 
As above, time scheduling if it's what you want will be a good option.

My Asus AC68U has time scheduling based on the MAC address (so it doesn't matter if it's wireless or wired) under AiProtection -> Parental Controls and there's an app for it, but I haven't really tested this feature out.
 
The Synology RT2600AC has excellent parental controls and can be controlled via the "DS router" App on android/iOS. You can enforce safe search on browsers, set web filtering rules to block porn sites, set time limits etc.
 
Asus rt-ac88u with them you can prioritise devices and apps on each device, also add times based on MAC addresses.

Can also do guest WiFi with scheduling and bandwidth limits on them.
