How do we be sure of Online Safety?

If ...
... you are accessing the internet with the wireless router, it is very hard to always track what the children are doing on the internet or sometimes the persons access the internet by sitting in an isolated room so that they may not be disturbed by anyone and also others do not know what they are doing being online. The only way to get rid of this problem is by blocking the unwanted or suspected websites on your Netgear wireless router by using the proxy server address. This option is really hard to break and you can block the websites so that the kids cannot access it anyway.

How to Block Guide:

• Launch the Internet browser.

• Type “192.168.0.1” in the address bar of the browser and press “Enter” key from the keyboard.

• This will redirect to the Netgear Router login page window. If the described page is not showed then type “192.168.1.1” in the address bar again.

• Fill the username and password that you have feed when you were configuring the Netgear router in your system and then click on “Login” button or press “Enter” key from the keyboard.

• On the left side of the page, on the second menu option named as “Content Filtering”, click on the option of “Block Sites”.

• Now write the website name that you want to block. For Example, if you want to block www.facebook.com then write “Facebook.com” in the textbox under “Type Keyword or Domain Name Here” option and click on the “Add Keyword” button.

• You can write only “Facebook” instead of writing full URL. It will automatically block all the webpages or domain that are having this keyword.
