He's already concerned about the kids' ability to reset the Superhub and bypass any restrictions set on it. The idea of another router and/or modem mode does nothing to get around this. It is no better than the Superhub itself.

Sooooo, yes it does come down to parenting advice and how the problem can be approached from a different angle.
Also, this.

There is simply no technical solution that is possible on VM that cannot be defeated by a single push of the Superhub's reset button. If VM allowed you to replace the modem itself, then perhaps there might be.

The only solution is
a) Remove the Superhub
b) Deal with the problem non-technically.
