What are Parental Controls (Router)?

Router-level parental controls apply rules to the whole network per device: pause the internet at bedtime, block adult content categories, and see which sites a child's device visits — regardless of what's installed on the device.

Look under Parental Controls or Family in the router app or admin panel. They pair well with (not instead of) on-device tools like Screen Time and Family Link, which control apps rather than just the network.
