Apologies in advance if this seems like a stupid question. So, I have my Deco M5 set-up and working. What I have done is turned off the wifi of my BT Homehub and everyone connects directly through the new Deco wireless. I have my set-up in router mode. I am a little confused by the AP mode and whether I should be using that. Not really an issue, as everything is working, I just want to make sure I have it all right.

One more quick thing, on the parental controls I have two questions. Firstly, is it not possible to have a profile identified with devices without logging their activity? Secondly, is there a way to get hold of the full history from the child's browsing activity?

Many thanks in advance

If you want to use parental controls, you need to run as router. In access point mode, the Deco's will be used as a wireless switch, without any extra options. So no web filtering, because a main router should do that job.

 

And no to your other 2 questions, when you set up a parental control profile, visited sites will be logged. On top right of the insights page there is site history, but I think it might only contains 100 or so recent entries.
