Is there a way to turn off the internet connection but not the TV in Uverse?

My son keeps sneaking onto the computer and stays up all night. Turning off the internet would be easier than taking his whole computer out of his room.





When I turn the whole thing off the TV takes an hour to boot back up the next day.





It's wireless.|||You have 3 options to get his computer to stop accessing the modem to get online.





You can setup MAC filtering to block his computer from connecting to the modem.





You can change the wireless key so his computer will not be able to access the modem.





You can disable wireless inside the modem.


Note: If you do not have a computer that is hard wired you will need to plug a computer into the modem to turn the wireless capabilities back on or call technical support to turn it on for you.





1. Open a web browser.


2. Go to 192.168.1.254


3. Click on the green wireless icon.


4. You can change the wireless settings in here, when you are done click save at the bottom right.


5. It will ask for the System Password that is written on the side of the router where it says System Password with 10 numbers next to it. (it is not the Wireless Network Key)
