Parental Controls
Are parental controls coming to the XR500 Gaming Router?
You could use a dynamic DNS service which the router does support which can block categories of websites you deem inappropriate. I realise that's not a complete solution but it is something you could start using right away.
I understand you attempt to appease the forum. I recommend that you do not consistantly say that your team is looking into Parental Controls as your team has been saying this since the router came out. Frankly to say you are looking into something repeatedly for over two years is just a lie.
We all know that this is a gaming router. The fact is that kids like to game. As a result, we buy the best router for gaming (and at a premium price) to allow the best gaming experience for our kids. Unfortunately, as I have said before, the DumaOS falls short as a well rounded gaming router.
My suggestion is just to admit that that is all it is and that your team will never offer parental controls. Remember, honesty is always the best policy. For now my FingBox takes care of the parental controls that this router and the DumaOS lack.
