My parents switch the wifi off so i can't access the internet...please help.

My parents switch the wifi off so that I can't access the internet, and they set a time for it to be turned off, so it turns off at about 10 pm every night, and it's so annoying!! I like staying up to use my computer...does anyone know a way to get around it?
Who pays for the WIFI?
How old are you?
What should you be doing at 10pm?

The easiest (and cheapest) way is to get them to stop doing it. If all they are doing is setting a setting on the router to disable wifi at a certain time, then it might be possible to use an ethernet connection to a homeplug, but that would require you to explain why it is there and pay for the hardware. If they have a timer plug on the actual router, there is no way to get round it without them noticing.
Mobile data, or do something else that doesn't need the internet. There are lots of fun things to do to keep you occupied. (idk about windows but linux is fun to tinker with)

Exactly, your parents want you to get a good night sleep. Its quite reasonable that they dont want you staying up to 11 or 12 while you should be in bed.
You don't need to stay up past 10 pm. Now go to sleep and focus on your GCSEs.
