I can still access some of the other features within myfiosgateway, but unsure if any of them will help me. However, they also provide a window into a huge amount of content, and that in some cases can be very harmful, especially for children. There are 2 tabs here to help you check what your child has been using on the computer. Macs are great tools for all users regardless of their age. I used to be able to access all the devices on myfiosgateway / 192.168.1.1 which had slightly better parental control functions than the app, but that IP doesn't load up my device list anymore for whatever reason. Select the lock in the bottom-left corner to make changes to the settings. Yes, I know I can toggle off random hardware access on his computer, but he is a teenager and he knows his way around this. If you want to specify which websites your kids can visit, click on Customize. Step 5: Next, select the 'Try to limit access to adult websites' option to block all adult websites. Step 4: Now, select an account on which you want to enable parental controls and go to Web tab. And usually after a couple weeks, the app or the router 'forgets' the various MACs and the process starts all over again. Step 3: Enter the admin username and password and click Unlock. At times I've had 15-20 different MAC addresses listed in my Fios device list, all from the same device with same name. So I can restrict the wifi time periods of the MAC address he's using at any given time, but upon a restart he has a new address and I have to do it all over again. So I have the myfios app which does a fair enough job of parental controls EXCEPT for the fact that my son has a Windows 10 CPU which has the option for random hardware addresses (changing the MAC with every new login).
