Hi,
I have set up Access Control for my child's tablet with 2 restrictions, 0830-4pm, and 2000 - 0700.
In the mornings, though, the tablet stays connected to Skype if already on a call, past 0830, despite Access Control.
The mischief we were trying to limit was a schoolfriend who calls our child on skype for a video call lasting 0730 until its time to leave for school which is a distraction from getting ready for school and an intrusion into our family life.
Whilst Access Control restricts use of the internet alright (Roblox) it doesn't seem to disconnect Skype if it's already connected. I have turned the tablet on at 0920 and it won't connect to Skype or the internet, so it seems to only be when a call is already connected that we have the problem.
Our router is an EE Smart Hub. Thanks in advance !

On other routers you would normally have to set the restriction up to midnight, then again after midnight - so 20:00 - 23:59 then 00:00 - 07:00.
I would guess your router would be the same.
