Blocked Sites/Keywords on Guest Network

When you set up blocked sites/keywords, does that also block them on the guest network?

 

Also, when you add a trusted IP, does the router cache that IP? If so, how do you clear that cache?

 

I blocked a site at the router, but can still get to it from teh guest network.

    Usually since Guest Networks is tied directly to the WAN side, blocking of certain web sites and places isn't a feature of some home routers.

      someone on the guest network can then still do illegal things and cause you pain with your ISP and other entities.

    Hello IamMightythor 

     

    I will have to check on that and report it as a issue.
