Parental controls help you manage when and how your kids use the internet, whether that’s bedtime schedules, content filters or a quick “pause” at dinner time.

📱 Using your router

Most modern routers, including mesh routers, let you:

• Create profiles for each family member and assign their devices.
• Set schedules so the internet turns off at bedtime.
• Pause the internet on specific devices with one tap.
• Block certain types of websites.

The exact features vary between router models. Give us a call and we’ll help you find what’s available on yours.

🧩 Other options

• Device controls: phones, tablets, game consoles and computers all have built-in parental controls.
• Family-safe DNS: free filtering services can block adult content across your whole network.

💬 A friendly tip

Tech tools work best alongside conversations. Talking with your kids about safe online habits goes a long way.
