• Device List — Monitor the devices connected to your network and pause the Internet to any device.
• Internet Speed Test — Check the broadband speeds from your service provider.
• WiFi Settings — Update your router’s firmware and personalize your network name and password.
• Guest Networks — Set up separate WiFi access for guests.
• Smart Parental Controls — Easily manage content & time online with Circle® with Disney.
• Remote Management — Easily monitor your home network anytime, anywhere."
Yet another marketing lie, isn't it Dustin_V ?
