Parental Control

Your mAX router uses profiles to assign personal devices to members of the household and
manage their network access. Parental Control allows you to enable and disable access for
time blocks of hours, days, or weeks by profile. When you assign devices to a profile, the
time blocks you create control all devices on the profile. You can even instantly pause and
unpause Internet access by profile or for all profiles on the entire network.
The steps to setting up Parental Control are ordered. You must first enable Parental Control.
Then, you will create user profiles, add devices to the profiles, and finally create time
schedules designed to enable and disable access to your home Wi-Fi network.
