Live Parental Control is a content filtering solution to help you protect your Wi-Fi connectors from accessing adult web content, gaming, social networking, or possible phishing sites while using Netgear router. This feature is supported by Netgear Nighthawk M1 MR1100 router. By using this feature with your M1, you can block inappropriate and dangerous sites, restrict access by time, and at the same time protect every device on your home network against adware.
