NOTICE: Live Parental Control Service based on OpenDNS will no longer be supported

I have been asking about parental controls in another community board.

I don't understand why Netgear is removing parental controls from it's basic or advanced router settings.  This creates an essentially unmanageable situation for parents that can frankly be easily managed through router firmware.

I don't understand this direction and I don't believe other home network device manufacturers are following in suit.

So what do you recommend we do to manage access (other than turning on our off on demand)?
