This function allows you to block inappropriate, explicit and malicious websites, and control access to specified websites at specified time.

Note: Parental Controls is only available on web management interface of the router.

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

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) on weekdays and not other time.
