Are there any wireless routers that have parental controls?
We use ATT Yahoo DSL as our ISP. We have a 2Wire wireless router that works fine, but does not provide any parental controls. I have a couple of kids who have laptops and I would like to limit where they go on the internet. Is there a wireless router that has parental controls and will work with ATT DSL? Please note: I don't want to install software on their laptops because they will find a way around it. I want to control internet access at the wireless router.

A quick search located a few routers that have parental controls. D-Link and ZyXEL both appear to have routers with built-in parental controls.

They are in your house, there is no real way to block it, and it sounds like they have more technical know how than you. The only effective way that I can think of would be a software block on their computers, with limited privileges assuming you have a typical home setup.
Resetting the router as a simple as a button press.
And if you want to block specific sites, there are some good ways to do that, but it isn't a general parental block.

My Linksys does as far as blocking websites.
However there are ways around that as well.
