Parental Controls in the Hughesnet® mobile app are administrative controls that allow users to manage and restrict the online activities of family members, including guests.
Parental Controls offer a variety of benefits, including the ability to protect users from inappropriate content and manage screen time.
With Member Profiles, you can add, edit, or delete profiles for each family member, including guests. You can assign devices to each profile, ensuring that each member has appropriate access. Additionally, you can pause a profile temporarily for up to 24 hours by selecting the desired time, giving you the flexibility to manage internet access.
You will be able to set schedules on your devices to automatically pause their connection to the internet. Devices need to have a schedule set a parental control rule.
- Click on the Usage tab on the top of the page and select “Wi-Fi Management.”
- Select the Network Settings & Access tab. On this page, select the Parental Controls Options
- To create a schedule, click the Create New Schedule Tab. You will need to name the schedule, set the start and end times for when you want the device to not be connected to the network, and select the days, indicated by the letters representing the days of the week. You also have the option to have this schedule on a repeated schedule.
- Lastly, you will need to select which devices that will be affected by the new schedule.
- Devices under “Devices with this rule” will abide by the schedule created. Make sure to select “Save” to confirm the schedule.
