Parent Control feature can be used to allow your child’s computer to access only certain websites during the time period you’ve set up. This is quite helpful if parents don’t want their children’s computers to have full access to the whole Internet, but only some needed ones.

We take TD-W8968 V1 as example in this article.

Step 1 Login to modem router’s configuration page:

Open your web browser and type the LAN IP address of the router in the address bar (the default IP address of TP-Link Modem routers is 192.168.1.1), then press Enter.

When you are prompted, enter the router´s username and password (the default username and password are both admin).
