Hello everyone,
I would like to know how to specifically control which computers can access the internet from using my router's control settings, accessed via typing in the 192.168.0.1 address, then entering admin/pw. I have a Netgear Wireless Cable Modem Gateway CG814WG v2. Some of the computers using this router are connected via ethernet cords and others wirelessly, however, I would like to be able to non-physically turn on/off internet access for specific computers.

look in the firewall section of the router interface for anything labeled 'access control' or similar, enable it and you should then be able to add the various machines on your network, edit a particular machines settings and you should be able to assign a schedule of access and add particular sites for blocking etc.

i know the above exists on my belkin 8235, hope its there on your netgear.

No, there is no firewall section under my router interface unfortunately.
