“What type of Parental Controls are there? It lists Parental Controls, then mentions a "Guest Access". Are they the same thing or are they separate? Our current router has guest access, but I have to babysit it when we have guests log into it. I would like a router where I can set up control over what times certain devices can access the internet. Preferably, only having to set it up once and not each time a user logs in. (IE. lets me kick the teens off the wireless on their phones at midnight, disables the bluray at midnight and/or disables certain laptops at midnight.)”

Parental Controls and Guess Access are two different controls. The Netgear N600 Dual-Band Wireless-N Router with Built-in Cable Modem will allow you to control all the items you stated and more from the Access control panel when you set the router up. You will only have to do it once.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't use the Parental Controls but it is separate from the Guest Access. The info on Parental Controls says you can block inappropriate and dangerous sites, restrict access by time and category.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, parental controls and guest access is separate. I haven't used parental controls myself, they're enabled and setup through an app you download on your PC or a device. It looks like it filters certain types of websites and content. Guest access is a 2nd set of SSIDs and wireless profiles that allow guests to access with no password, or a different password to the main access.
