The CM500 is just a cable modem. It cannot do things that need a router.
Maybe you already have something attached to your modem.
On its own, the CM500 can't do much in the way of network activity, like providing wifi or managing attached devices.
Netgear, and other brands, supply different routers with different options for parental controls. These usually require some sort of subscription.
