Parental Controls on RBR850
Hi guys,
I have a number of questions. Is it me, or are the parental controls extremely limiting and almost useless?
1) Do parental controls work? I see several posts that say after the 30 day trial they no longer work.
2) Is there a way to see how much data a device is using? I had a huge spike in data usage and my ISP pinged me and said I had hit my limit. I want to now which device is the culprit.
3) I want to set a data limit but there doesn't seem to be a way to set a data limit for each user or device. I would prefer a monthly limit or weekly limit--not a daily limit.
4) I don't care about content. Why must i pick a filter? I just want to limit data.
5) Can i limit the number of hours a day a person can use the internet and then after that amount it stops?

FYI:
After the trial expires the feature stops working. It's up to you to decide if you want to subscribe to continue to use that feature or not.
