you can use "Firewall" function if you want to limit your child's PC to surf the Internet in certain time

Schedule totally 'dark blue', with Parental control enabled (check box at top of page) and url blank => child device : no internet connection access.

I am trying to understand the logic TP-link are using - this should be simple - but seems to be far from it.

I have come across the simple requirement to block junior at bedtime or whatever on numerous forums about many devices and it is apparent that router vendors do not understand what the consumer wants at this time. A simple internet on/off per device by schedule is all we want. If TP-Link just added block or permit all to the parental control schedule we would all be happy - no one want to faff about with granular control.



To add to loicremy comments, adding a url permits access when the schedule is blue - no access when cleared.

At one point I had "google" as a url only, allowing google searches to work.

A url of "bbc" would not allow www.bbc.co.uk to load but the error said "m.bbc.co.uk" was not accessible so I added a url of "m" and that could be reached.

With only "google" "www" and "m" as url's I managed to search google and open results in a manchester paper so that gives a little hope - but it would be a whole lot simpler if TP-Link would just add "ANY" :mad:

Parent control does not work for me as well.
Firewall rule setting does nothing . Kids PC has full access all time regardless of all possible manipulations .
