This function allows you to block inappropriate, explicit and malicious websites, and control access to specified websites at specified time.

Setting Up Access Restrictions

I want to:

Block access to inappropriate online content for my child’s devices, restrict internet access to 2 hours every day and block internet access during bed time (10 PM to 7 AM) on weekdays.

How can I do that?

1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for the router.

2. Go to Advanced > Parental Controls.

3. Click to create a profile for a family member.

4. Add basic profile information.

   1. Enter a Name for the profile to make it easier to identify.

   2. Click to select the devices that belong to this profile. Access restrictions will be applied to these devices. Click ADD when finished.

      📘

      Note: Only devices that have previously been connected to your router’s network are listed here. If you are unable to find the device you want to add, connect it to your network and then try again.

   3. Click Next.

5. Customize the Blocked Content according to your needs for this profile.

   1. Enter a keyword (for example, “Facebook”) or a URL (for example, “www. facebook.com”). All websites containing the keywords will be blocked.

6. Set time restrictions on internet access.

   1. Enable Time Limits on Monday to Friday and Saturday & Sunday then set the allowed online time to 2 hours each day.
