Parental Controls
Are parental controls coming to the XR500 Gaming Router?
UPDATE:
I made the decision to move back to a non-gaming router. The performance and features of the XR500 are both disappointing and worthless. I use the FingBox to manage all users and devices from my cell phone. The app works whether I am at home or away so that is a nice bonus. I have week night and weekend schedules for my kids and can shut off their access with the push of a button. The Zing app also notifies me when a new device joins the network. My kid's devices are assigned to them individually, so I can manage their access to their IP technology on an individual basis.
Since I switched routers the reliability of my home network has improved significantly. Combined with my ZingBox I have all the speed and control I ever wanted. Unfortunately the DumaOS application just does not live up to the current needs of parents with children.
Sorry to hear you've changed routers but glad you've found something that works for you. I hope that when our parental controls are released you'll consider coming back as it should be very powerful!
Sooooooo............any updates for parental controls
No not yet, but DumaOS 3.0 is getting closer to launch.
How much longer for this update and will it have scheduling controls ?? Looking to buy an Asus any time now if theres no options coming up .
