After trying various methods, all of which my kids found workarounds for, I now simply disconnect the router after a certain hour on weeknights and lock it in a drawer in my bedroom.
Be prepared for howls of protest/abuse, and hang tough.

Well I know how to do it, but I did not find an easy way to do it, so I gave up on it. Basically you need to control access to the router by MAC address.
If you log onto the router using your internet browser 192.0.0.1 probably, you will be given a host of option to control usage. This should include time limits/ MAC address filtering / times of day that access will be granted.
You may also have option to block certain websites. In addition the you may be able to give yourself 24hr access and block everyone else !
Doing it this will will give you the option to blame the Service provider or the dodgy wireless router for the sudden outages every evening at exactly 21:05 every night
The MAC address filtering is a great thing to add as it will make your wireless network very secure although a pain if you need to add a visitor to the network.
