Parental controls on this router do not work at all! An app for controlling when each device has permission to access the internet looks nice but does absolutely nothing. We had set up a lockdown schedule for each kid's device, but then we realized our son was streaming a movie at the lockdown time. This prompted me to further investigate why he was able to access the internet during the 'locked' period and I found that the ban did not affect any of the devices. We were able to surf the web and stream even though the app indicated the device was locked. I have read the support forums and spoken to Linksys support and found that the problem is that the parental control feature does not work with IPv6. This is not stated anywhere in the product information used to advertise and sell this router, and parental controls that can only be used in pure IPv4 mode should not be advertised as a feature, even if a pure IPv4 router has a Legacy technology is. On the forums, Linksys tech support suggests disabling IPv6 in the router settings to get parental controls to work, but that didn't work with my router (and is an unwanted limitation). The last tech who called me back about my Linksys support ticket said I need to call my ISP to have them disable IPv6. come to my house (I joked with the tech and called my ISP but they said it's not what they wanted). ever heard of it and it's a bad idea even if they could). Overall, it was very frustrating to find out that the advertised feature we bought this router for, parental controls, doesn't work at all, and what's worse, Linksys knows about it and still falsely advertises the feature. Thank God we discovered this defect early. what we bought this router for, the parental controls don't work at all and what's worse, Linksys knows about it and still falsely advertises the feature.
