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)
It provides enrichment for the kids, as they figure out how to get past it.
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.
