I found how to block websites how to limit devices but nothing about blocking a site for one device and not others. Example blocking youtube and other distracting websites from my younger ones who are doing school without blocking it from the adult that are on the same network.

    Hi @Rob M. #25597

    You can block a device using the mac address https://fizz.ca/en/faq/how-can-i-manage-devices-allowed-my-wi-fi-network

    1. Open a web browser. 
    2. Enter 192.168.0.1 in the address bar of the web browser. 
    3. Log in using the username “cusadmin” and your administration password.  
    4. Go under Security --> Device filter 
    5. Select Show 
    6. Identify the MAC address of the device you wish to control and select Manage. 
    7. Select Device managed --> Yes
    8. Select Apply
    9. In the section right below, select the device to manage. 
    10. Select Device managed --> Yes
    11. Select Manage the entire day --> No
    12. Create the schedule by choosing the days and times. 
    13. Select Apply
    14. Save the changes. 

     

    Important : Some devices connected to your network may bypass this access management. To prevent this, don’t share your network password with these users. Instead, create a guest network for them with its own schedule and password. This will allow you to manage their access to your Wi-Fi network.

    Hi @Rob M. #25597

    The firmware in the Fizz's router is limited

    You should check The Security: Keyword Filter in Security > Keyword Filter

    Hi @Rob M. #25597

    I check on the CODA 4X8X manual and it is here

    1. Open a web browser. 
    2. Enter 192.168.0.1 in the address bar of the web browser. 
    3. Log in using the username “cusadmin” and your administration password.  
    4. Go under Security -->Keyword Filter

    I don't have the modem, therefore, I cannot assure you that in the Fizz's firmware the option is there
