How can I prevent being disconnected from my wifi?

So every night around midnight to 1 AM my mother disconnects my wifi from my PC and all my devices for two reasons. 1) She "doesn't trust me" 2) "You'd never go to bed". So how can I not be disconnected? I can probably find out any details you need. I'm on Windows 7 and have an iPod touch 5 and iPad, and we have Virgin Media wifi. I can find out in more depth what type if need be.
 
Who is paying for your internet? Who has paid for all of your gadgets?

If I was your parent, I would disconnect the modem and put it under my pillow during bed time. Together with that Virginia Media WiFi 😉

I used to do that in the past (during the day), and it surely works toward better attitude, respect and better grades.
 




I'm not. I had a Canadian friend who had a dictator of a father who ended up literally kicking him out of his house and he had to live with friends for a few weeks, and he managed to get past the restrictions without having to "negotiate" or "ask nicely".
 


Well, maybe you will find someone else that can help with your issue.

NOTE: Choose your battles wisely.
 


You want me to go to Reddit or 4Chan? 'Cause I could, but I figured I'd go to the guys who are smart about this stuff instead of a bunch of neckbeards who'll just shout at me.
 


You want help? OK, fine. Let me put on my DadHat:

What have you done for me lately?
Cut the grass.
Wash my car.
Do the dishes.
How are your grades?

You want something, you gotta give something.

Not gonna help you hack your mom's router.
 
Not your router, and your mom already knows how to administer the wireless network. A mod's already spoken on this, you're not getting help here. Expect this thread to get closed.

It's unethical to alter security measures without the owner's permission. I'd advise against going to Reddit or 4Chan for help, as you're just as likely to get hacked yourself. You can claim you're savvy enough to avoid this, but social engineering is a powerful tool.
