So many of you automatically jump on the op and start laying blame. I see this in all the forums on DCUM, not just the Nannie’s section.
OP, your db is trying to intimidate you by showing you he is in charge and it is his way or the highway. It is disrespectful not only to you but to his kids for him to turn off the WiFi so the television will not operate.
Just like we teach young children he needs to learn to use his words instead of acting out like a toddler.
You should tell him that if he wants you to do a certain thing while working, he needs to verbalize it to you next time.
This lets him know that you are not his fool.

So I do not understand why people are pointing their finger toward her. ??
But this IS DCUM and people are always placing blame on ops.
But even if this nanny wasn’t supposed to turn on the tv, the father boss should be mature enough to tell his nanny directly that the tv is not allowed while the kid(s) is awake or whatever.
I personally think intentionally shutting off the WiFi so the tv will not operate is psycho behavior.
ESP for a man.
It’s like unplugging something then acting like something became unplugged on its own!?
The father on the other hand has told me he prefers zero tv time while I am there but he hasn’t explicitly banned it.

Your husband has no clue. We have all kinds of gadgets that control the internet, and my husband can shut it off with an app.

I know this comment is so unrelated but why use an app? Why not just unplug the router manually? It just seems odd to utilize an app when it is quicker to just unplug something right then and there.

Sorry but I won't be on your side.
You're not respectful of his wishes.
He told you he doesn't want the tv on when you're there ... so why do you do it ?
You can do it when he's not working from home since the mom doesn't care so much ...
I've always respected my bosses when I was a live-in or live-out nanny. Even if I didn't agree.
I do the dishes when the children are napping and then I can have some time to myself to relax with a cup of coffee.
PP from above here-So this gives OP’s dad boss the right to intentionally turn off the wi-fi?? Then to lie about it and deny he did it on purpose? I cannot believe a nanny would be ok with being lied to on the job. Respect needs to be imparted from an employer and outright lying is a clear sign of it being nonexistent in this case……
