Similar question.  I would also like to be able to shut off the wifi, preferably from the Shaw BlueCurve Home app.  My son has figured out how to use VPN to bypass the profile solution as suggested by the moderator.  I have unplugged the device as needed but end up having to hide it, otherwise he just plugs back in after I'm asleep.  Seems like a simple tech solution having the ability to shut off wifi from app.  Is there this possibility?

If you choose the “connect“ icon at the bottom, you’ll find your connected devices listed. You can then individually pause connection for each device manually or for up to 2hours. So far, have not found a way to set a specific time of the day to allow/restrict access though.

I also have a teen and I was unplugging it each night like others here but then the modem just stopped powering up one morning and I was without internet for 5 days until a new modem arrived. I have to find out if unplugging nightly was what broke it?

The app allows us to restart the router.  
What is missing is a stop and start command. So simple.

I only installed the app so that I could turn the router on and off automatically. How disappointing to find out that this app does nothing that I need it to do. Shaw, please pay some attention to the features that are important to your customers. Which may involve actually asking your customers how the app is working for them.
My feedback – the app is missing crucially important features (Specifically, 1.Turn off router 2. Turn on router 3. Lock router (so it can’t be turned on manually)

So for now the best solution is a mechanical timer.

@nmarsh -- Smart plugs emit EMF. 

Smart phones emit EMF.

A telephone base-unit for your wireless home telephone system emits EMF to reach the handsets.

Also, your neighbour(s) WiFi emit EMF.  So, unless you live on a rural farm, far from any neighbour, you're continually bathed in their EMF.

Your BC Hydro "smart" power-meter also emits EMF, every 10 minutes, when it "calls home".

Thank you so much for stating the obvious. I suppose resistance is futile and I will be assimilated.

Regardless of your implication, I do what I can to reduce my exposure, particularly while sleeping.  I have no wireless phone system, I turn my iphone off after 10pm, I turn my router off after 10pm, I turn off all my devices and I use EMF blocking blanket when I sleep.

The smart meter and my neighbour’s EMF- emitting devices do emit constant wellbeing-destroying EMF that I have no control over. But I think 5 of 7 is better than doing nothing at all.
