Windows 10: setting restrictions for kids

When I set time limits for my kids it will shut down their use after the set time. There is then a button where they can send an email to me to request more time or they can hit my parent is right here and I can enter my password to grant them more time. However, there is also a yes or no button at the bottom. If they hit yes it will automatically come up where they could then give themselves more time without knowing my password... How do I correct this?

How to restrict wi-fi internet access to kids?


Hi there

On some routers you can enable the time that the router will allow specific Mac addresses (hardware specific - computer wifi card / tablet wifi card etc) to access the internet. Another way is to have 2 SSID's - one hidden that only you use and the other which appears in the wifi list that kids etc can access - this can also be restricted by time. You'll probab;y need to set up a "Virtual switch" for this --it sounds more complex than it actually is BTW. Look in your Router manual under security settings.

Ideally the best way of controlling Internet access would be to set up a Proxy server - you could use another machine for this -- advantage is that you could restrict sites they access and also by reading the log see what they are accessing. If you don't have a spare machine you could set the proxy server up on your main machine which would control access and stop internet access when the machine is down.

If they have their own mobiles - that's another ball game as they could use 4G without needing wifi -- you are on your own on that one !!!. You might as well use a domestic Watering Can to extinguish a Volcano -- would be easier than getting kids to turn off mobile phones (and probably a lot of adults too !!).

It does not work that way. Take the phones and lock them down in the parental controls. Set the Parental controls on the Gateway.

At bedtime, have them place the phones in a basket. For every week that they detox from the phones under your rules as a parent, give them $5-10.

You are the parent. You came here for suggestions and now you are upset with them, so it is starting to sound like the children are ruling the roost.

Step up and tell them that bedtime during the week is at a certain time and they agree to the rules.

Summer is coming up and you need to give them a little leniency. Otherwise you are going to find out that you will suddenly become the most hated person in the household.

When I go into "Your Family" -> "Manage My Child's Profile Info", I'm unable to change any content restrictions.





Any ideas?
