    Netgear kit will allow you to create up to four networks (*) with different names, security settings, passwords and time restrictions.

    You could have one wireless network called, say, "Fred" and have it use WPA/PSK, with a password of "FredNetPass" and available from 17:30 to 21:00. You can then have another network called "Joe" and have it use WEP, with a password of "JoeFoo:Bar" and available from 08:00 to 21:00. And so on for two further networks. In that way you can connect your different machines to the different networks and restrict time in that way.

    Check for multiple SSID capability in the Netgear product sheet.

    Hope that helps.

    (*) and for the pedants I know that it doesn't really create multiple networks but it's a good way to picture it.
