Multiple Trusted IP
I have a RAX50v2 router running firmware version V1.1.4.28_2.1.26. My kids are getting to the age where they are exploring less than desirable sites, and I would like to block those plus other sites (Such as youtube) but allow my wife and I to visit them. In the menu options there appears to be only one trusted IP allowed for blocked sites.
Is this how it is? That seems very shortsighted. If this is not correct, can someone point me to how to add multiple trusted IP's?

That feature does not work for https sites. It is an old setting that doesn't mean much these days. Older manuals are explicit in saying Keyword Blocking of HTTP Traffic.

You may have to bite the bullet and subscribe to one of the various Parental control services from Netgear and others. But you are in for an arms race. Kids are great at tunnelling out of defences.
Just another user with time on their hands.
