This function allows you to set up unique restrictions on internet access for each member of your family. You can block inappropriate content, set daily limits for the total time spent online and restrict internet access to certain times of the day.

It contains the following sections:

•Set Up Access Restrictions

•Monitor Internet Usage

1. Set Up Access Restrictions

I want to:

Control the times of day my children or other home network users are allowed to access the Internet and even types of websites they can visit.

For example, I want to allow my children’s devices (e.g. a computer or a tablet) to access only www.tp-link.com and Wikipedia.org from 18:00 (6PM) to 22:00 (10PM) at the weekend and not other times.

How can I do that?

1.Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for the router.

2.Go to Basic > Parental Controls or Advanced > Parental Controls.

3.Click Add to create a profile for your family member.

4.Add basic profile information.

1 )Enter a Name for the profile to make it easier to identify.

2 )Under Devices, click .

3 )Select the devices that belong to this family member. Access restrictions will be applied to these devices. Click Save when finished.

Note: Only devices that have previously been connected to your router’s network are listed here. If you are unable to find the device you want to add, connect it to your network and then try again.

4 )Click Next.

5.Block content for this profile.

1 )Add one or more keywords. All websites containing the keywords will be blocked.

2 )Click Next.

The amount of time your child spends online is controlled and inappropriate content is blocked on their devices.

Check which websites my child has visited and how much time they have spent online recently.
