When enabled, any AP can connect if using
your settings.

Configuring Parental Control Settings
The settings described in this section enable you to tailor the type of
content you want to allow your router to access. You create a policy
that defines content access. Each policy can be associated with all
the PCs the router supports. For example, a “Kids Policy” could be
defined and assigned to all PCs that a child can access.
Also, a single policy can encompass multiple time schedules and
multiple periods that can be assigned to any given PC. For example,
a PC might be associated with a “Weekday Kids Policy” and a
“Weeknight Parent” policy.
Each policy uses a content filter keyword list, meaning any sites with
content containing these keywords are blocked. Each policy can also
use a URL list that contains URLs that are specifically denied or
allowed.
In this way, it is possible to explicitly block access to certain sites or
to create a “walled garden” in which access is only granted to a
select group of websites.
