Model: Archer VR1600v  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 0.1.0 0.9.1 v5006.0 Build 220518 Rel.32480n

Hi there. I have set up parental controls but have some notes and a question.

 

First a couple of notes:

 

1) You can't set any profile for all computers - you have to add each device you wish to restrict individually.

 

2) The scan did not find my son's or daughter's computers. This appears to be because they connect to the WiFi network through our Apple Airport Extreme. I had to connect the laptops directly to the Archer WiFi network on the router before they showed up in the scan.

 

Question.

 

Q1) How do set up individual profiles.From what I can tell, you add all devices you want under restriction to a single list, and then you can only have a single policy that applies to all devices in the list. Surely not! I want different policies for different laptops in the house.

 

Q2) I also want to set up different policies for different times, even for the same device. For example, on my daughters laptop I want all internet restricted between 10pm and 7am, but I want certain sites (such as Instagram) blacklisted 24 hours a day. How do I set this up?

Hi, unfortunately, the parental control on VR1600v doesn't allow to set different policies for different client device or for the same device but different times.

Also there is a checkbox for each device but it doesn't seem to do anything or I don't know how to use it.
