Where are the parental controls??
After much research I choose the Linksys EA6900 for what I believe is the best in class solution for parental controls. Knowing this unit and its "smart wi-fi" would give me the ability to remotely control my childrens access to the internet through my iphone was a great advantage. However I was dismayed that when using the app you do not have the same functionality as you would as if you were to sign in to the website via the browser. The main feature that is missing from this app is the ability to change the specific times that Internet access is blocked to individual devices. My only option currently is to always allow the device or never allow the device. Once I choose one of these options I lose all of the other scheduling rules that I have previously set-up. For example I get a call from my wife that my teenager is acting up or not doing his homework.I should be able to go in and instead of Internet shutting down at 10 for him I change it to block out the internet at the current time. Then I get a call that he is finished homework and then I restore his connection. The silly thing is all of these functions work via the website but if you try to access the website with your Iphone it says browser not supported, download app. And whats even stranger is I can access the website with my Ipad and I have full functionality. The number one reason I would think to even use this app would be to remotely control devices to the internet from outside your home and you just cant do that properly with this app.
