We've got you covered! Let's dive into setting up parental controls on your Zyxel router: #### Your Guardian Angel Online! ๐Ÿ‘ผ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Whether you're on a PC, laptop, or even a smartphone, setting up parental controls is a breeze. Let's get started! #### Step 1: Connect & Access ๐ŸŒ Make sure your device is connected to the internet. Open a web browser and type 192.168.1.1 and press enter to access the router admin page. #### Step 2: Log In & Secure ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Locate the User Name and Login Password on the back of your router's grey panel. Enter these credentials into the router admin page and hit 'Login'. If it's your first time logging in, set up a new admin password for added security. We recommend this to prevent unauthorised changes. Once done, skip the Quick Start Wizard that pops up. #### Step 3: Navigate & Activate ๐Ÿš€ Scroll down to 'Parental Control' on the home screen and click on the "\>" symbol in the bottom right corner. Toggle on 'Parental Control'.![Toggle Parental Control](https://help.homeunity.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Toggle%20Parental%20Control.png?width=171&height=33&name=Toggle%20Parental%20Control.png) #### Step 4: Create a Profile ๐Ÿ“ Click 'Add more Profile'.
