How to define schedule to control internet access?

I need to use an access control list with schedule, but this function seems cannot be found.

So..., could u help me?

Can you go into a bit more detail on what you actually want to do? What sort of access do you want to control? Users? IPs? Subnets? Protocols?

Once we establish that, we can see if the RouterOS supports it and then it's a matter of configuring the scripts/scheduler and so forth...

Can we make it sort by IPs or Subnets?

I actually want to configure that some PCs can only access internet through MT router within 9:00AM - 5:00PM, and others are unlimited.

A quick (from my point of view) and nasty way of doing things would be to create forward firewall rules for all the affected subnets or IPs and then create a script to enable and one to disable them...Then schedule the appropriate script for the times you need...

Like I said...Quick and nasty (and very messy)...But should work...There may be a cleaner solution, but I'd have to think about it...

Anyone else with a solution?

Use scripts. See

Look for Example called "Night policy".
