Mesh Networks with free timer (alien.top)

My son moved into his new room last week and I'd like to be able to turn the network off to his devices in the evening. However I went into my orbi dashboard and found it requires me to use a paid 3rd party app called circle to manage parental controls. I do not want to pay a monthly fee for something that should be included so I'd rather just replace the routers.

What mesh routers allow me to have two Networks and set on and off times on the guest network?

Does the son have a mobile phone? Turning off wifi access to the router won't stop them from using mobile data
