MAC address filtering should work on wired connections as well....
Every network interface has a MAC address.

If you want to get really geeked out about this and serious about enforcing limits, the best way would be to buy a shit £30 computer, put two network cards in it and run routing software.

This would give you a lot more control than your current router, you could control what times people were allowed to log on, their data allowance, blocked site lists, etc etc. A bit of work to set up but probably the best way of doing it.

Assume the Netgear's some variation of a DG834? Most people's are. If you let me know exactly which one I can see what can be done on that first if you want.
