Parental Controls

I have already asked the question about whether I can set up parental controls on just the Guest network that I have set up now.  Apparently that answer is "no".  So now my question is, is there a NETGEAR router that I can purchase will allow me to do that?  It seems ridiculous that NETGEAR or some other manufacturer has not seen that this is a good idea and that that functionality should be built into their routers. It just makes sense.

Re: Parental Controls

AFAIK, there's no NG model that can do this.

Which sort of parental controls?

 

Netgear has announced that it is killing the free Live Parental Controls. So don't get to rely on it.

 

NOTICE: Live Parental Control Service based on Ope... - NETGEAR Communities

 

It wants you to buy into Circle. Perhaps you could throw your question in the section given over to Circle?

 

Circle Smart Parental Controls - NETGEAR Communities

 

But Circle is a firmware service, and Cable Modem Routers are beyond Netgear's control. ISPs have a "keep your hands off" approach to that.
