Currently the AX50 is implementing the app only HomeCare featue. The AX6000 allows the use of HomeCare via the GUI.

@Tony Thanks, that's good to know.  On the AX6000, can you program real firewall rules (block specific sites)?  And is there a limit to the number of rules?

@Bridgecross 

With the AX6000, you can list specific sites. It can take some messing with to get the URL. If I remember correctly I had to use www.sitename.com when I tried other variations it didn't work. Another factor I think was if the site is cached in the browser that can still load it.

Is this still accurate? I'm shopping for a router where I can set up blocks for my kids for certain game websites.

The AX50 is listed on https://www.tp-link.com/us/homecare/#overview as one of the supported models, that site claims "Site blocking" as one of the features, and I don't see any call-out when comparing

and

*   https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-ax6000/

saying that one has per-site blocking while the other doesn't. Is this data incomplete, did they do an update since 2020-03, or am I misunderstanding?

Thanks,

Both have HomeCare which is able to block categories, apps, and sites. If that does not work, you can look at the insights which show all sites visited, you can specifically look to block it there too.
