How to Configure a D-Link ADSL Router
Over the last decade, broadband and DSL providers have given the home computer user the ability to setup their own service with minimal interaction with the company's technical support department. When setting up a broadband router for a DSL connection, there are several steps that the user must take to configure the DSL modem for operations with the Internet Service Provider before he is able to go online. The D-Link ADSL router is a common router purchased for home use that can be configured for use without having to rely on your Internet Service Provider's assistance.

I need to know if you can set a timer for individual computers of my network, uing a D-Link DI-524 router. I have young children as well as old, and found out the young children were still using the internet late at night, while my Eldest child and myself are still using it.
