Answer | The SVG2482AC Parental Controls feature provides the ability to block Internet access to client devices in the home network.  Internet access is blocked by setting up one of the two Access types:
- Allow All - Allow all client devices access to the Internet and add client devices to block access.
- Block All - Block all client devices access to the Internet and add client devices to allow access.
The client devices can also be managed for time of day to be blocked.  By default, Parental Controls is disabled, which allows all Internet access to all the client devices.  This document contains the following sections:
