How can I make the parental control filter work separately on different devices?
Hi Everyone! I had tried looking for an answer prior to posting this question. If I missed something, by all means you can point me to the right direction. I would like to limit my son from ...
Hi DexterJB,
Thank you so much for all the help. I found the solution to the problem!
I found out that not ALL categories under the "High Filter" are being blocked. Exactly the main reason why my son could still access the internet. Therefore, I chose the "Custom Filter" and checked every single one of them. Whoala!
Again, thanks!

Hi @be_zwe,
1. Does the "High" filter work for your devices if you don't login to your bypass account?
2. Have you tried setting the default filtering level to "High" or any other level other than "None" to test if the filtering works? If not, please do so.
Note: Filtering may not take effect immediately since it is DNS based. Please give about 30 minutes to an hour.

Hi DexterJB,
The "High" filter worked...with my husbands device (android)...but, not with mine(iPhone). He was being blocked from a couple of websites.
Overall, my son can still use the internet 24/7. :-(
Perhaps, the router itself has some defect/technical problems?
Thanks,
B
Hi @be_zwe,
If you want to block your son's Internet access on a specific schedule you can do Address Reservation for his device/s and set a specific range of IP then block all services on a set schedule. You may find the links below helpful.
