I have had an Asus RT-AC66U for nearly a year now. Not only does it have the necessary function that you are looking for, but time and time again it is rated as being the best router out there. Well, actually Asus just improved upon this router with the RT-AC68U. The RT-AC68U is based on the RT-AC66U with just a few improvements. The two greatest improvements would be the addition of USB 3.0 (the RT-AC66U has only USB 2.0) and slightly faster speeds on the...

Back to the feature that you're searching for though. On the router's setup page via browser, you have the ability to set up and configure your guest network in nearly every way imaginable. Everything from content to time slots to time allowed on the network is all easily configured by you. The RT-AC68U is available for right at 200 dollars (which is what I paid for my RT-AC66U). Having it for a while, I say that it's worth every cent. One of my favorite features is a bit torrent download manager built right into the router. Just connect an external hard drive via one of the USB ports and you're ready to go. It also have a network printer feature that allows you to connect a USB printer to the router and print to your home router remotely. All in all, it's the best router out there. You will absolutely love it!

Edit Addition: I also forgot to mention that this router also broadcasts on the 2.4 Ghz AND 5.0 Ghz frequencies. The 2.4 Ghz frequency is for "wireless-n", while the 5.0 Ghz frequency is for "wireless-ac". This allows the router to be backwards compatible with all of your current "wireless-n" devices, but also has the technology of the future "wireless-AC" devices. Wireless-AC is around 3 times as fast as "Wireless-N", but manufacturers are being pretty slow about equipping their products with "Wireless-AC" capability. This router covers both very well.
