A router with built-in parental controls lets you manage internet access across devices connected to your home Wi-Fi from one central place. Depending on the system, parents can block inappropriate websites, create age-appropriate filters, pause internet access, establish bedtimes and screen-time limits, and review which devices are connected to the network. Create separate profiles for each child so restrictions can match their age and needs, and protect the router’s administrator account with a strong, unique password. Remember that router controls generally apply only while a device is using your home network, so phones using cellular data may require additional device-level parental controls.
