I finally got my router fixed and D-Link’s SecureSpot software is now on my DIR-655 wireless N router. I have to say that this is a really cool utility. I have it setup so that both kid’s computers are setup on the Parental Controls. Melanie, Mom, and my computers are not setup on Parental Controls. So lets say that I am on Brit’s laptop and she wants to see my profile on Face Book, the Parental Controls will automatically forbid her, but I can supply my admin password and it will let that session go through. Once it is closed then it will block it again. It also has Parental Reporting so it will email me a report of the kids browsing history. Also, another cool feature is lets say that one of the kids friends comes over and they bring their laptop, when they open their web browser, it automatically goes to the “registration” page and they click on the “Guest” account. Once that is done then they also are under the Parental Controls so I don’t have to worry. Really really cool stuff!
My opinion about D-Link’s SecureSpot…A++. I am glad I spent the $30 a year fee to get this. Setting it up, depending on how many devices you have, will take a bit, but once it is done then you are all setup and secure.
