Parental Controls

Parental Controls allows you to set up unique restrictions on internet access for 
each member of your family. You can block inappropriate content, set daily limits for 
the total time spent online and restrict internet access to certain times of the day.

I want to:

Block access to inappropriate online content for my child’s devices, restrict internet 
access to 2 hours every day and block internet access during bed time (10 PM to 7 
AM) on weekdays.

How can I do that?

1. Visit 

http://mwlogin.net

, and log in with the password you set for the router.

2. 

Go to

 Advanced

 > 

Parental Controls
