mAX Routers: Parental Control Setup

NOTE: This article applies to the mAX WC4S, WC4T, W21, W121, W122 Express, W30, W130, W31, W133, W61, and the W161 Routers.

The mAX router's 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.
