Parental Controls
The 2Wire Parental Controls enhanced service offers two features that allow parents to maintain control
over what their children can access on the Internet, and how often: Content Screening and Internet Access
Controls.
Content Screening allows you to protect your children from Websites with questionable content. You control
what sites or types of sites your child can and cannot access. Internet Access Control gives you power to
decide when your child can use the Internet and allows you to restrict Internet access by day of week and
time of day.
For additional information, please refer to the
Parental Controls User Guide

Setting a System Password
Setting a system password protects your gateway settings from being modified or changed by someone who
has not been given permission to do so. After setting a system password, you will be required to enter it
whenever you attempt to access a gateway configuration page — for example, if you try to change the
gateway’s broadband connection settings or upgrade the gateway software. If a password has not been set,
a reminder notice is displayed when you attempt to access pages where settings can be changed.
To set your system password:
•
Open a Web browser and access the gateway user interface by entering
•
Click the
System
tab.
•
Click the System Password
link in the System area of the Network at a Glance panel to open the Edit
System Password page.

In the Enter Your Hint field, enter a hint.
A hint is a word, phrase, or question that reminds you what the password is. There is an I forgot the

you to enter your password.

To safeguard your network against unauthorized users, it is also a good practice to periodically change your
password.
Resetting the System Password

Changing Your Time Zone Settings
The 2Wire gateway sets the time automatically using time servers on the Internet. It retrieves date/time
information in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Your local time is set using the Time Zone setting you
configured when you set up your system. If your Time Zone is incorrectly set, you can change it in the Edit
Date and Time Settings page.
To change your time zone settings:
•
Open a Web browser and access the gateway user interface by entering http://gateway.2wire.net.
•
Click the
System
tab.
•
Click the Date and Time Settings
link in the System area of the Network at a Glance panel to open the
Edit Date and Time Settings page.
