I would like to write a mini web-app to control clients' internet access on a Wifi-router.

How can I block/regulate their Internet usage while connected to the router?

Each client would have a login username & password. I do not want to use a MAC-address filter as they could login using any device.

@payne Wireless for a start. I guess I'll be able to figure out 'wired' once I'm done with 'wireless'. - Olúwatóósìn Anímáṣahun

For wireless access control, look at a RADIUS server. From Wikipedia:

Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) is a networking protocol that provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) management for users who connect and use a network service.

A free RADIUS server: http://freeradius.org/

It's supported by some of the better consumer access points, such as the ASUS RT-N66U.
