Live Parental Controls

NETGEAR Live Parental Controls, powered by OpenDNS, is a router-based Web filtering

solution available on NETGEAR Wireless-N router and gateway products. Designed to

protect you from identity theft and scams, Live Parental Control blocks up to 50 categories of

Internet content.

Live Parental Controls is an excellent solution for keeping your family safe online, but like all

Web filtering tools, it is not perfect. NETGEAR reminds you there is no substitute for keeping

the family computer in a common area and in plain sight where you can monitor the websites

your kids are visiting, and taking caution when visiting websites requesting personal or

financial information.

Download Live Parental Controls from this website:

.

Web-Based Interface

Live Parental Controls is the first to allow parents or network administrators to manage

settings while away from home or office. This is particularly convenient when access

exceptions need to be made. And since settings are stored on the Web, using a browser

interface to manage them is not difficult.

Total Home Protection

Live Parental Controls protects all Internet-connected devices through the router. It protects

not only computers, but also set-top boxes, iPhones, iPods, and gaming consoles that are

attached to your network. You no longer need to worry about phones and gaming consoles

not being protected when kids use them in their own rooms. Even guest computers

accessing the Internet through your network are protected.

in the family. Default and per-user settings allow you to customize configurations for different

computing arrangements and personalize the settings for each person. Per-time setting

allows Internet access during scheduled time slots to help manage the balance between

work and play.

Minimal Software Installation

This capability requires a one-time installation of the management utility. Once Live Parental

Protecting Access to Your N300 Wireless Modem Router

Also, after a period of inactivity for a set length of time, the administrator login automatically

disconnects. When prompted, enter

admin

for the user name and

password. You can use procedures in the following sections to change the password and the

amount of time for the administrator’s login time-out.

Note:

The user name and password are not the same as a user name or

password you might use to log in to your Internet connection.
