My current router does not allow URL filter for individual devices. Many parents would like to limit the amount of time kids consume social media and streaming nowadays, but they cannot restrict the internet access because most schools has adopted online learning and they will need internet to access online school materials. What action is recommended? Can ASUS parental control feature do this? Thanks

    Get a Firewalla router. Makes powerful parental controls trivial to implement.

      I second this—powerful and easy to use. Since my kids tend to get addicted to electronic devices, they have a specific hour on Tech Tuesday (school computer homework) that the Firewalla Gold unblocks the internet (at least the stuff that they should access) for 1 hour to get done. If they get done quick enough, they are allowed the remainder for games or research on something that they are learning. If they earn a segment of computer times, I’ll manually unblock their computer for 30 min. Sometimes I’m at work and my wife asks me to unblock, which can be done from my phone.
