Parental Controls Router End ?
Hello all Happy New Year

Been struggling with the parental control isue for some time

My daughters 14/16 now have access to various devices such a smart phones/ ipads / laptops and I want to ensure in addition to the regular discussions we have about the internet and surfing safety inappropriate websites such as adult content are blocked(I am not suggest they would seatch for it just want to ensure they don't come across it by mistake)

Question is can I set parental controls on my wifi network for them rather than me having to set myself up as the admin user on thier devices and than creating users accounts for them which I can then assign parental controis to (hope that makes sense)

I would much rather control it from a single point rather than each of thier devices.

Would appreciate any comments or advice. (using a superhub 2 : McAfee Total Protection)

Many thanks for your time

Regards

Mike

I saw a report that Sky has, or will have, Adult Filters on by default. Doesn't VM have a similar option?

My router Asus RT-N66U has parental filters that you can set times by the client MAC address.
