parental control

Hi, I'm new in this 'router setting world', and without much information I decide to mess with my router configurations and obviously made some mistakes. This caused my Internet to shutting down. I would like your help to sort out this issues. I wanted to use Parental Control restrictions to...

I've been using Parental Controls > Time Scheduling to disable the internet for our FireTV stick and the TV itself for a while. But once the internet stops, the kids can still move to our local Plex server and keep watching from there. Any idea if there is an easy fix to this? I have no...

Dear all, First of all thanks for the proposal and firmware development. I realize that if I have the Parental Controls - Time Scheduling turned on in an TV device (wired) with Amazon Prime or Disney+, them do not load the video (the moment that is used is not restricted in this event)...

I just unboxed an Asus RT-AXE7800 and am pretty annoyed to find out it doesn't have controls to block client access to specific domains. I am trying to upgrade from a TP-Link AC1750, which doesn't have very complex configuration but it does have this basic kind of control. I currently use the...

Hi, Currently I use ASUS RT-AX58U stock firmware 3.0.0.4.388_23925 I have searched similar problem, but did not find any in this forum. How to schedule "web and app filters" tab entries in parental control section for example with crontab? Scheduling is allowed only in "Time Scheduling" tab...

I would like to disable WiFi radio during my core sleeping hours 02:00 - 06:00; I imagined this possible in Parental Control -> Time Scheduling, however there is no such option that I'm able to find. Will this have to be implemented to be achieved? In that case where do I start? What kind of...

Hi folks, my internet service is CGNAT (jio,india) and their crappy GPON modem refuses to allow bridging so i end up with what you call.. triple NAT my primary requirement is parental control and i've a working Asus N66 with tomato FW i tried content filtering with OpenDNS but its not working...

Hi folks, I'm trying to work out how I can create schedules on the Guest Networks to toggle them on/off during certain days/times. My kids are driving me nuts with it and they can easily get around the parental controls with MAC address spoofing etc. Instead, they are going to have their own...

Good day. RT-AX88U with Merlin 286.3_2. Today I would like to setup Time Scheduling for mediaplayer to prevent my kid watching TV in a late time. However the trick was not successful: mediaplayer was blocked for Internet traffic, but multicast was working so all IPTV channels are open. Is...

Is it possible to us a 30 minute time interval in the Time schedule parental control instead of whole hours?

TP-Link has announced HomeCare Pro powered by Avira, the second generation of the company's home network security solution. Not to be confused with the earlier iteration of TP-Link HomeCare, the new Pro version adds IoT device protection and parental controls. HomeCare Pro can identify new...

Hi, I am using 4G-AC53U. When I turn ON "Parental Controls" to block a client's Internet access, does the router really block ALL kinds of Internet traffics including system's service (such as OS update checking, license checking, etc.) ? Or it only block normal user's access, e.g. web...

Hi, I am using 4G-AC53U, for the Parental Control function page, Asus mentioned "Please disable NAT Acceleration for more precise scheduling control". But I can only disable "NAT Acceleration" for LAN, I can't find the "NAT Acceleration" for Wireless, why is that? Does the Router...

Hi Does anyone know if its possible to apply the category based content filtering for all devices on the network, rather than per device ? We would like to use this feature for our guest wifi network - and would like it applied to any guest user that connects! Thanks Daniel.

NETGEAR Orbi Wi-Fi Systems and Nighthawk routers will be getting better parental control features thanks to a partnership with Circle. The integration of the Circle app (for IOS and Android) gives parents additional services they can set or schedule to provide a safe online environment for kids...

RT-AC66R 380.68_4 Time on the router matches the time on the accessing computer and matches the actual time in GW -5. The parental control is set to turn access off for a specific computer at 2200. Access turns off at 2100. Set the router to turn off access at 2300 and access turns off at...

I share here the parental control that I have begun to use at home for my student siblings, in case it can be useful to any other person. It may also serve as more examples of iptables – ipsets and traffic control. It is based on the available Merlin’s parental controls, to which I’ve added...

Hi: I want to program (through cron tasks, launched from a User Script) a periodic (for example, every 60 seconds) disabling of the Bandwidth limit of one specific client (by MAC or IP) of the several clients that I have configured in the WebGui's Bandwidth Limiter and, after some time (in...

Hi: This is my first post to this forum, after hours looking for previous talks about this subject. I miss one feature that I am convinced that would significantly enhance the Merlin FW and make the great power of its user scripts quickly accessible: the ability to associate user scripts to...
