Block sites
I've got an old router (N450) and now that the kids are old enough to be online, I need to start blocking sites. However, I cannot get any sites to get blocked. Steps: 1. Login via the browser 2....
Good to know about the HTTPS issue. In the site(s) I was testing, I was certainly using HTTPS sites - which seems to be commonplace today. Well crud. Thanks for the tip! I'll give this all a shot on a few non-HTTPS sites.

As you suggest, the CG3000Dv2 listed in your footer is seriously old in technology terms, nearly a decade. While I am sure that KevinLiT can help you out with this gateway (modem/router), you may find that it lacks some of the parental control features that you will find on more modern devices. And eventually the kids will get old enough to work their way around these basic safety features.
Stick with the CG3000Dv2 for the time being, but be prepared to move to something more capable when the need arises.
Yeah. My gut says that upgrading was going to be required sooner rather than later. In general, my WiFi tends to go down semi-frequently - though I'm not sure if that's a result of too many devices using it, the qualtity of Cox's service or perhaps the router itself. I think I'll upgrade here pretty soon... Thanks again.
