C7000V2 Parental Controls Options
I was wondering why there are no options for parental controls in the Nighthawk app. I had a Netgear router that had Circle and I found it helpful for keeping my kids off the internet when I needed it. Is it NOT an option with this unit??
Might be able to set up a pihole on it and do some site blacklisting. theres quite a few ready-made for parental controls/site blocking.
I've done that before.
when the little monsters get older, they'll figure out ways around it but works fine for younger ages. 🙂

the C7000 modem/router combo unit has never had that capability. Maybe its something to do with it being a combo device. Not sure why they never supported it.
- If you can modify the DNS servers on the C7000, you can use NextDNS' parental controls.
