Reminder:

Due to some special reasons such as application cache, security software protection, VPN encrypted connection, etc. Parental control may not be able to completely block some APPs and web pages.

This Parental Controls feature allows you to set up unique restrictions on internet access for each member of your family. You can block inappropriate content, set daily limits for the total time spent online, and restrict internet access to certain times of the day.

Note: Please make sure the Private MAC Address is disabled on your clients, otherwise, the parental control won't take effect.

If your router has a different parental controls interface, please refer to

For example, I want to keep my kids away from dangerous websites like gamble or porn sites, restrict internet access to 2 hours every day and block internet access during bedtime (10 PM to 7 AM) on school nights (Sunday to Thursday).

NOTE: Parental control feature varies by model, some models do not support the Insights function.
