Many people set up wireless networks, but they never bother to properly configure and use the functions it provides. One of the things you can do with your wireless router is set up access restrictions. This takes the blocking and filtering to a different level.

You're able to set different permissions for different PC's. Not only can you block and filter the sites AND services (AIM, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ, etc.) they visit, but you can even go as far as state what time and day they can/cannot use the internet. The internet can be addicting and you can easily lose track of time so if it's hard for adults to control how much time they spend on the computer, imagine little kids and teenagers.
