I have an Asus AC87U on which I demonstrated parental controls to a customer. He was pleased and I agreed to install an Asus DSL-N55U thinking the parental controls would be similar. They're not.
I think that the AC87 can filter what comes in whereas the AC55 just allows an access schedule ie. a plan to allow a child access to the internet at certain times on certain days.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to which Asus router would be best? I like the Asus controls as they're so very simple to configure and this is important if technophobe customers are to use them.
I understand Netgear go one step further and use a website which allows you to configure the router to apply filters?
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit:
I bought the Netgear DGND3700 but will figure out tomorrow how it works...
I gather it does work by registering the modem with an account with Netgear and then it points th e router to this for internet access which then filters what is allowed.
This seems clunky in comparison to the web filtering on the Asus AC87 which is all done on the router.
