To automatically turn off your internet at a certain time, access your router’s settings via its IP address (often found on the router). Navigate to Parental Controls or Access Restrictions. Set up a schedule by selecting the devices and specifying the times you want to restrict internet access. Save your settings to enforce these rules. Alternatively, some smart plugs or home automation systems can cut power to the modem/router at set times, achieving the same goal.**
