Most routers have parental controls included, allowing concerned parents to put controls over all the devices that rely on wifi to ensure they don't go to dangerous sites. If you're looking for a way to control what your family can access on the internet and how long, below are instructions for the three of the most popular router brands.
Start by logging into the router's configuration page by entering your web browser and typing in the IP address (192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1) or tplinkwifi.net in the address bar.
A menu will appear on the left side of the screen. Click on Parental Controls, then choose Enable to turn on the setting.
To find the MAC address on an Apple device, go to System Settings, then Network, then Wi-Fi or Ethernet, then Advanced.
Click Add New to create a rule that will affect what websites and domains you want to allow and when.
On the bottom right corner, click Schedule, highlighted in red, to control when your children can surf the web. Afterward, click Save and return to the previous page.
Check Enable to make the setting take effect, then click Save. You'll return to the Parental Control page and see a list of settings you've created.
How to set up parental controls on a NETGEAR router
You must download and launch the Orbi or Nighthawk app to get started.
Set Up. You can set up a profile for each child in your household.

How to set up parental controls on an ASUS router
Like NETGEAR routers, ASUS offers two tiers of parental controls: AiProtection Classic and AiProtection Pro. Both tiers are free for the life of the router, but the protection tier varies depending on the ASUS router model you purchase. Generally, routers on the lower price points come with the Classic tier, and since each tier is designed for the specific model you've bought, you can't upgrade to Pro.
Once in the ASUS Router app, you want to go to Settings, then Family.
Write the name of your family member's name and click Next.
You'll be asked to select Setup Offline Schedule (setup schedule when the internet is off) or Setup Online Schedule (setup schedule when the internet is on). Select one, create your schedule, and click Next.
ASUS also offers a Reward Time feature, which allows you to give your kid extra screen time for good behavior. You'll see the feature when their profile is set up on the ASUS Router app.
