Great replacement SkyDog router (for parental controls and web filtering)

We looked for an alternative to our family favorite SkyDog router sold by Comcast (ugh!) and then all of it has been closed .

Pros
  • Cloud management from anywhere and NO SUBSCRIPTION
Cons
  • Something's wrong

Unreliable network connection

Pros
  • Secure image, media and text search on Google and Bing
Cons
  • Expensive

Change from 5 stars to 1 star until this major issue is resolved. for my own testing and could therefore be used in multiple…

Pros
  • Very detailed web filtering in 79 categories. Blacklist/Whitelist, Keyword
Cons
  • Mostly ok, but...
