The Parental Control feature restricts network access to client devices (e.g. computer, gaming console, tablet) in the home network. Parental Control profiles must be created to associate one or more client devices and set up time schedule to access the Internet. Internet access by client devices can be restricted to certain times of the day and certain days of the week. By default, Parental Control is disabled, which allows access to the Internet to all of the devices at all times.Â
