I am desperately trying to understand the parental control & the firewall.
I live in a house of five people, me, my wife and three children. Each of the children has a laptop and one or two mobile devices that access the internet through the modem/router.
I want to block: Facebook, twitter and ask.fm. I don't want to enter into any debate about why I want to do this as it is outside the scope of this particular thread.
I can only see four IP addresses on the parental control where I can restrict or block access to those sites.
Why can I not have more, for the reasons stated above?
So, I look to the firewall to block the sites, it seems I cannot do this with a URL so I have used the ip address. To me this not ideal as it would mean blocking facebook for my wife which she occasionally uses.
So that all set and saved, I try to get on facebook. Easy peasy, so the firewall does not work.
Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I have followed the instructions in the manual, so it should work.
Any help gratefully received

Re:Jeff
Hi.
In parent control, you can make a white list of some websites that are allowed to access on your children's laptops or mobile devices. The other websites that are out of the white list will be blocked automatically.
See this FAQ: http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=453
In firewall, you can make a black list toblock some websites based on the MAC address of your children's laptops and mobile devices.
If you are not sure about their MAC addresses, you can go to DHCP Server->Client list to check the MAC addresses.
