Block Websites & Devices

Restrict content, schedule internet access hours, and block specific device connections from the admin panel.

Router-level parental controls provide centralized content filtering across every connected device in your home—including phones, tablets, smart TVs, and gaming consoles—without needing to install software on each individual device.

1 Parental Control Features Available in Modern Routers

Bedtime Limits

Schedule Access Rules

Automatically disable internet connectivity for kids' laptops and tablets between 9:00 PM and 6:30 AM on school nights.

Domain Filtering

Website URL Blocklists

Block explicit websites, social media apps, or online gaming servers by entering domain names or keywords directly into the router firewall.

Instant Pause

One-Tap Connection Freeze

Instantly pause network access for dinner time or family study hours with a single toggle in the router management app.

Zero-Cost Network-Wide Family Safe DNS Filtering

If your router does not feature built-in parental profiles, simply set the router WAN / Internet DNS servers to Cloudflare Family or OpenDNS FamilyShield. This automatically filters adult content and malicious domains across every device on your Wi-Fi:

Cloudflare 1.1.1.3 (Family)

Primary: 1.1.1.3 | Secondary: 1.0.0.3

OpenDNS FamilyShield

Primary: 208.67.222.123 | Secondary: 208.67.220.123
