Parental controls are tools that help you manage and monitor how children use devices, apps, and online services. Technicolor routers provide basic time-based parental control features, which allow you to restrict internet access for specific devices during certain times and days.
How to Set Up Time-Based Restrictions
1. Access the Router Interface
Connect to your home Wi-Fi network or use an Ethernet cable.
Open a web browser and navigate to: http://192.168.1.1.
Log in using the admin username and password, which can typically be found on a label at the bottom of the router.
2. Navigate to Parental Controls
From the main dashboard, select Devices.
Click on the Time Control tab.
3. Create Access Rules
Click Add New Rule.
Select the device you wish to restrict by identifying its MAC address.
Choose whether to block or allow access during the specific time window you are creating.
Set the Start Time, Stop Time, and Days of the Week for the rule.
Click Save to apply the settings.
