Can I completely cut off a device from inet access at 9pm?

Trimble Epic
Ok, so my son and daughter both have tablets and my wife has decree'd that their internet usage should end at 9pm...

How would I configure the firewall to completely cut off all internet access to those two machines (based on mac address? perhaps) at 9pm and then reopen it at 7am?

I tried making a firewall rule to deny all services to mac addresses, but normal web surfing traffic is still working.  I even set the block rule as rule #1 in firewall settings, and it still didn't help.  What am I doing wrong?

BTW, I'm using the free home edition, if that matters, and it's up to date as of today.

    1. You can't block MAC addresses by firewall, only IPs.
    2. Do you have Web Protection active? If yes, this comes before manual firewall rules (see BAlfson's "Rulz" in the General sectin of this board), so you also will have to create a separate WebFilter Profile.
