I am looking for a wireless router that I can connect to an existing router that will allow me to have a second wireless network in my house that the kids will use. I want one with some parental controls including the ability to go into the wireless settings and specifically block a device (for when a kid gets grounded). What Netgear product shoudl I consder?

Re: Parental Controls
Can anyone who has a netgear wireless set uop aswer what I think is a pretty basic question - do the parental controls allow you to go into the settings a disable a particular device? I am looking to do this when I have to take the internet away from my kids for one reason or another.

Re: Parental Controls
they are supposed to work, but they don't, and Netgear are dragging their feet to resolve this. I think you made the better decision to go with Linksys, as Netgear is a no go right now.

Re: Parental Controls
Yes. The Nighthawk series allows you to block individual devices through the Genie app.
You said you called Linksys. Did you call Netgear, or just depend on the community for pre-sales advice?
