TC wifi airport closed for all as default?

by default, access wifi to my Airport network is open, I use the time restriction for my devices for children, but what happens if my kids get a peripheral friends and the use of the password? is it possible to close the default wifi network and then open for known devices while closed for someone else?

Thanks in advance for any constructive contribution.

is it possible to close the default wifi network and then open for known devices while closed for someone else?

Don't know what you mean by a network 'open', because that normally describes a network without security wireless at all, so everyone within range of the network will be able to connect by simply selecting the network to join.

If by 'open', you mean that a password is required to reach the network, then it would be a "password protected" network.

Time limits may be established by the unit on 'Open' or "password protected network".

IF... you ask if it is possible to establish complete control for the network, then you want to change the 'default' "rule in access time delay of 'Unlimited' on 'No access' and then put in place a rule for each device that is authorized to connect to the network at the same time that you specify."

In this way, if the children give the password network to one of their friends, then device the friend still will not be able to connect to the network at all... unless... you establish a specific rule for the device with the time you want to use.

An example of a default rule of "Access forbidden" for the network might look like this:

The downside to use the 'Access forbidden' setting as default is that you need to configure a rule for each device specify the times that the device will be able to connect to the network.  The advantage is that device (s) cannot connect to the network, even if the user knows the password for wireless network... unless a specific rule has been implemented for the device.
