AX6000 AC12
Hi Guys
Is there any way I can monitor internet sites the kids are On or have parent control
Also does it have good firmware to stop unwanted intruders and can I see who is trying to gain access
I know some other models do, why not this expensive one

What device are we talking about here?
AX6000 is not a reliable guide to model number. It is essentially a label that Netgear, and other brands, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
Do you mean the RAX80 or the RAX120?

If you visit the support pages:
you can feed in the model number and find all the documentation for your hardware.
None of the RAX devices have parental controls, disney circle, or armor setup for them yet. I haven't seen any posts from an offical moderator but I'd imagine the support will be coming as armor/disney circle are a reliable revenue stream. it seems like they're wanting to get the basics of the router up and running first before adding in complexity.
Something you could do temporarily while you wait on that is to check into opendns. There's a free filter setup for adult content or a paid for site specific filtering. There's ways around this but if you're kids are capable of doing so, they'll figure out a way around most things.
