Examples

[admin@MikroTik] > /ip kid-control add name=kid1 sun=20:00:00-22:00:00 mon=16:00:00-21:00:00
[admin@MikroTik] > /ip kid-control device add name=Limit1 user=kid1 mac-address=FF:FF:FF:ED:83:63

Internet access limitation is implemented by adding dynamic firewall filter rules or simple queue rules. Here are example firewall filter rules:

[admin@MikroTik] > /ip firewall filter print

1  D ;;; Limit1, kid-control
      chain=forward action=reject src-address=192.168.88.254 

2  D ;;; Limit1, kid-control
      chain=forward action=reject dst-address=192.168.88.254
