If there are any Linksys Developers out there monitoring this site I'd LOVE to see these features added to the Parental Controls App/Software;
We recently purchased the Linksys WRT1900AC for our home. We have two children ages 9 and 12. I love that I can control their connectivity via a weekly calendar hour-by-hour. I also like that I can control it from an app, my laptop and tablets whether I'm home or away. Now that I've been using the product for a couple weeks I have some input that would put your product, in my opinion, at 5-Star level of customer satisfaction.
1 - I would love to have the ability to have parental controls of my kids devices at 30-minute increments (current ability is hour by hour). For instance, I could shut them down at 8:30 PM vs. 8:00 PM (too early) or 9:00PM (too late).
2- I would also love a "Time Out" button that would shut a child's device down without deleting that child's daily wifi schedule (Block internet access - Specific times) that I have set up for each of them. As it stands, if I have the kids on a daily schedule and if they lose internet privileges, I can change their "Block Internet Access" to "Always" but in doing so the "Specific Times" calendar is deleted. Which means once the child regains internet privileges I have to go back into the "Block Internet Access and change "Always to "Specific Times" and completely re-build their Monday - Sunday calendar. What a pain!!! Not only that but I have to wait to do all of this until I have my desktop as you can't create or modify a "specific times" calendar on a iPhone or iPad.
Anyway, I appreciate your time!
