Model: TL-WR802N  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: V 4.2

Hi everyone,

I want to restrict access to certain YouTube channels, YouTube Shorts, and specific websites on my TP-Link router to prevent my kids from accessing them. I’ve tried basic parental controls, but they seem to block all of YouTube rather than specific channels or Shorts.

 

Here’s what I’m looking for:

 

  1. A way to block specific YouTube channels rather than the entire site.
  2. A method to disable YouTube Shorts since they seem to be more addictive.
  3. How to block certain websites using the router settings.
  4. Any workarounds or third-party tools that can integrate with TP-Link routers for better content filtering.

I’m using a TL-WR802N, and I’ve already explored features like Access Control and URL Filtering, but I need something more precise.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance.

  @Joseph-TP Thank You! I am waiting for the solution. Actually, some YouTube channels are annoying and I don't want my kids watch them. Also, I want to block entire short video section of YouTube. Some gaming websites that I don't want to be opened on any device that are connected to TP-Link router.
