所有消费类无线路由器和网状 Wi-Fi 系统的制造商都吹嘘在其产品上提供某种形式的家长控制。然而，大多数方法都非常过时且效率低下。因此，很少有供应商在其路由器上提供真正有用的家长控制，华硕(ASUS)就是其中之一。以下是我们喜欢他们在 Wi-Fi 路由器上处理家长控制方式的七件事：
1.它可以帮助您阻止不适合儿童的内容
只需点击几下，华硕家长控制(ASUS Parental Controls)即可阻止各种不当内容：
- 成人(Adult)内容（色情、暴力、非法内容和赌博）

4.随时随地享受(Enjoy)防病毒和家长控制保护
直到最近，华硕(ASUS)路由器只有在设备连接到网络时才能保护设备。如果您的孩子拥有智能手机或平板电脑，那么当他或她在您的家庭网络之外通过其数据计划使用它时，该设备将不再受ASUS AiProtection和家长控制(Parental Controls)的保护。幸运的是，华硕(ASUS)现在提供适用于Android和 iOS 的移动(Android)Instant Guard应用程序，它可以与您的华硕(ASUS)路由器建立VPN连接。

7 ways in which ASUS Parental Controls protect your children
All manufacturers оf consumer wireless routers and meѕh Wі-Fi systems brag about offering some form of parentаl controls on their products. However, most approaches are very dated and inefficient. Αs a result, very few vendors provide trulу useful parental controls on their routers, and ASUS is one of thеm. Here are seven things we like about the way they hаndle parental controls on their Wi-Fi routers:
1. It helps you block inappropriate content for children
With just a few clicks, ASUS Parental Controls allows you to block all kinds of inappropriate content:
- Adult content (pornography, violence, illegal content, and gambling)
- Instant Messaging and Communication (virtual communities, chat apps and services, internet telephony services, etc.)
- P2P and file transfers, commonly used by websites that break copyright laws
- Streaming and Entertainment (games, media streaming - including YouTube, internet radio, and TV)

2. Set time restrictions for your children’s internet use
Children love mobile devices, games, and the internet. Therefore, it is easy for them to spend too much time online, negatively impacting their health and development. The Parental Controls found on most ASUS routers help you set a schedule for how long children are allowed to be online.
ASUS Routers come with Time Scheduling preset rules
You can set up an offline schedule with ease in just a few clicks. To learn more about how this is done, read: How to control your child's internet time on your ASUS router.
3. Protect your children from malicious websites
The parental controls on ASUS routers and mesh Wi-Fi systems are part of the AiProtection module developed together with Trend-Micro, an antivirus and cybersecurity software vendor. If you enable AiProtection, you can also protect your child’s devices from malware, phishing, spam, adware, hacking, and ransomware attacks.
Protecting your children from malicious websites is a good idea
Considering how little children know about cybersecurity, what’s safe and what’s not, you surely want this kind of protection enabled for all the devices they’re using.
4. Enjoy antivirus and parental controls protection on the go
Until recently, ASUS routers could protect devices only as long as they were connected to the network. If your child has a smartphone or tablet, the moment he or she uses it outside your home network, through its data plan, for example, the device is no longer protected by ASUS AiProtection and Parental Controls. Luckily, ASUS is now offering the mobile Instant Guard app for Android and iOS, which establishes a VPN connection to your ASUS router.
Instant Guard protects your child's smartphone when not at home
If you set up Instant Guard on your child’s mobile devices to connect through VPN to your home network each time they’re not on your Wi-Fi, your child continues to be protected by your ASUS router automatically. Here’s how to configure and use Instant Guard on ASUS Wi-Fi routers.
5. Configure and keep track of parental controls from your smartphone
The parental controls found on ASUS routers and mesh Wi-Fi systems can be configured not only from your PC, when connected to your network, but also from your smartphone, while you are away from home. With the help of the ASUS Router app for Android and iOS, you can easily create parental control rules and keep track of what your child is doing, even when you’re at work.

6. ASUS Parental Controls and antivirus are automatically updated
All consumer wireless routers brag about offering some kind of parental control tools. However, many vendors provide only simple blocklists that parents must configure manually. They have to add all the sites and content they want to block on their children’s devices. This approach is not helpful because it involves too much work, and it doesn’t do much to protect your children.
ASUS Parental Controls are cloud-based
Since the parental controls on ASUS routers are cloud-based, they are always up-to-date. The protection is handled by Trend Micro - an American-Japanese multinational cyber security vendor that works tirelessly to detect threats of all kinds on a daily basis. Therefore, once AiProtection and the Parental Controls are turned on and configured, you can rest assured that they cover the latest threats automatically without you having to do anything for maintenance.
7. Protection in 25 languages
A great plus of ASUS routers and mesh Wi-Fi systems is that they come with great multilingual support. The user interface is available in a whopping 25 languages, much more than other vendors of wireless routers. Therefore, even if you are not fluent in English, you can still easily configure your router and its parental controls.

The same applies to the ASUS Router app for smartphones and tablets.
