Do the parental controls allow you to limit wifi access to devices? I have a teenager going on the xbox one when he shouldn't and I want to be able to set some kind of time as to when wifi is accessible.

Yes.

Momhals · Answer

This modem cannot use the NETGEAR Genie for parental controls to use OpenDNS which restricts access to certain web sites based on key words. However you can use the NetGear Genie live to shut the access to the internet off completely for any device on the network, but you cannot set a schedule, you have to do it manually each time you want to shut them down. There are other NETGEAR routers that can use the NETGEAR Genie to schedule both when a device can be on-line, and what content it can access.

Yes. you can put parental restrictions on network access... but if your kid is using xbox, they can probably gain access to the router and modify the settings you have set. The only way you can be 100% sure that your kid is not using xbox when they aren't allowed... is to take away their xbox.

As for times no..I don't think any of them will but it does have parental control over what is being viewed via wifi. I do own one of these and went through the setting and that's all I can see

Set the access limits on the X-box is the place to do it. Microsoft will walk you through it.
