Manage What Your Teenager Can See and Do Online.

It’s an online world and teenagers and children have unprecedented access to it. For a parent, that can be a scary thought. How can you limit the time they spend online—all that chatting, gaming, social networking, shopping, and YouTubing? How will you protect them from potentially harmful and inappropriate material—without looking over their shoulder 24/7? NETGEAR Parental Controls is the answer. 


With Parental Controls, you can block inappropriate and dangerous sites, restrict access by time (for example, no Facebook during homework time) and category (adult, gaming, social media, etc.), and at the same time protect every device on your home network against adware and phishing through one central control point - your NETGEAR WiFi Router.
