Easiest way to do this: Turn the modem off after bed time (you will also lose internet)
Most expensive but still easy way to do this: Buy a "smart router" with time-based parental controls (lets you use the internet at night).
Nerd way to do this: Pihole with a script that enables and disables certain blocklists at certain times (free and open source, because fuck "smart" products)
Cheaper alternative: flash existing router with DD-WRT or OpenWRT and access advanced features for free.
And possibly get a damn nice router for not much money.

A true nerd has at least one spare raspberry pi laying around. Or just an old box they can throw Linux on.
Yeah, but as a true nerd i wont be using my old pi 3 to do that.
The poor bastard is strugling to keep home assintant alive. Better buy a new router WRT compatible.
