I have setup a DDWRT device as a wired network switch: WAN disabled, LAN DHCP disabled, Wifi OFF
Just wondering if "Access Restriction" "Access Policy" " Deny Internet Access" section would still work?
If not, is there any way (like, with a command line script) to block a connected device in a specified time period ?
(I want to turn off an attached VOIP device at night)
Get yourself a wifi-enabled smart AC plug instead. I use them extensively and they work quite well for these kinds of purpose. No dependency on the router other than having internet access. Nothing beats having the device powered OFF when it comes to being sure it's denied access (to/from).
Your clients just bypass this switch, you have to block on the primary router
What?! You owe me a head of hair, I've torn all mine out trying to figure out why it isn't working!!!
My primary router is from the ISP and they removed Parental Controls from it.
Although it begs the question if WAN connection type is Disabled then the Access Restrictions page should be disabled - or at least a warning that it won't work! _________________ Headed for the second star to the right and straight on 'til morning...

Sadly, while using DDWRT firmware its suppose to have a basic knowledge on routers ...as in your case you left without hair....
The option you request is bound with some codding that will affect the firmware functionality or simply will just inflate the code...consider tons of different router supported with various hardware _________________ Atheros

If the router explicitly supported an AP mode, that would probably be the case.
