Looking for videos of parental settings for the Nighthawk DOCSIS 3.1
I have been so disappointed with parental controls offered by various routers. And I've discovered that sometimes the user guide contains promises that the router can't really do. Are there any links...

I see no sign that the CAX80 supports parental controls.

You can try NextDNS. It offers parental controls, white- and blacklists, ad blocking, malicious sites blocking, etc. Costs only 20 Euro's/year. I use it myself and am very happy with its services and operation.
