I'm asking on behalf of my mom. My brother has been spending a lot of time playing games, and his behavior and self-care have become serious concerns. We want to limit access to a particular website or game across our home's shared Wi‑Fi, but we don't know what kind of router or internet setup we have or how these settings work. What information do we need, and what are the practical ways to block it?

You can also apply restrictions directly on the device. Computers may let you block programs with firewall settings or restrict websites through system controls, while consoles and phones usually have their own family-management features. Those controls are often more effective when protected by a password your brother doesn’t know.
The exact steps depend on your router model and whether you’re trying to block a website, a game, or an entire device. Many routers include parental-control or access-control settings where you can choose a device and block domains or schedules. Check the router’s model number and look for those options in its administration page. Keep in mind that blocking one site may not stop the game itself, and a VPN or another device can bypass network-level blocks.
Blocking access might help create boundaries, but it probably won’t address the underlying anger or health problems by itself. A parent or guardian should set clear limits and talk with a doctor or mental-health professional if the behavior is severe. Games may be contributing to the situation, but assuming they’re the only cause could miss something important.
