Parental Controls
Are parental controls coming to the XR500 Gaming Router?

My suggestion is just to admit that that is all it is and that your team will never offer parental controls. Remember, honesty is always the best policy. For now my FingBox takes care of the parental controls that this router and the DumaOS lack.
We're actually not lying when we say that parental controls are in the pipeline, it's something our team is very interested in adding to the router, but we want to do it properly.
If you have any suggestions for Parental Control features that you'd like to see, I can put you in touch with the DumaOS developers. They'd be interested in hearing what customers want from their Parental Controls solutions. What do current solutions offer that you like? What do you wish they would do that they don't?
Anybody who's interested in giving their suggestions to the developers, let me know and i'll put you in contact.
I certainly would like to be able to see web history. My 14 year old is taking a bit too long in the restroom with his cell phone.....
Maybe it's just a really addictive mobile game? Maybe not...
I'll PM you some details about talking to the DumaOS devs about what you'd like to see from a Parental Controls feature, if you'd like.
