depends on your router.

I'm using ASUS, the phone app got settings to set downtime for individual connections one.

Login to your router admin page.
See the devices connected to your router, block their access and restore it the next day.

You can limit internet access by device. Check your router settings

Common problem. I used an app to control their screen time

If you restrict their access they'll begrudge you. The best is do some load balancing on your router and throttle their speed.

Then again, you restrict wifi your kids might just switch over to mobile data then they continue playing.

Plus the fact that if your kids are more IT savvy than you, they can find ways to bypass your restrictions.

restricting wifi is no long term cure. maybe you want to sit down with them and talk about it.

Basic mode, most no need payment. Want advanced features then pay.

I used ScreenTime. Can lock phone or device by time

Im just trolling. But then what makes him think that technology is going to help? He should educate them. That’s way to restrict but you just driving them out of the house and do something more drastic.
