Nighthawk parental controls
Hello, my parents recently bought a Nighthawk AX5400 router, they're about to get the Nighthawk app (parental controls) to look at my search history and logs, which I'm fine with I'll just make sure I won't look up anything bad again. But I'm very worried that they can still see what I did on our previous router (it didn't have parental controls, but it was still on the same Wi-Fi network as our new router). So on the parental controls are you able to see what you did on other routers? Or can you only see what went through the nighthawk router alone?

its only on the router its installed on.
so you'll be fine.
but if what you're looking at is bad enough that your worried about your parents seeing it, it might be time to have a little talk with them.
A little naughtily stuff is fine/healthy/curious but its a deep/dark hole it can go down.
