NETGEAR® offers a wide range of routers that are configured to use OpenDNS filtering through a special interface.  These routers are relatively easy to setup, but do require the user to create an OpenDNS account.  We can help you sign up and configure the router to the specific filtering that you want, or we can provide the router, the utilities, and the instructions to do it yourself.  These utilities will be provided on a CD that comes with the router, or they can be downloaded from our website here.

NETGEAR® routers with this feature include the low-end Wireless N 300 WNR2000 or the higher end RangeMax™ Dual Band Wireless N WNDR3300.  There are also NETGEAR® DSL router/modem combos available.

Once the router is setup, managing the settings is very simple.  Login into your account with the OpenDNS username and password you created at https://netgear.opendns.com/.  You can access this dashboard anywhere on the internet.  This allows you to easily change you settings no matter where you are.

Features include block page bypass, per user filtering through a user utility program and time based blocking.  Plus you will enjoy the fabulous DNS service provided by OpenDNS and as the OpenDNS website database is constantly updated the changes will be reflected for the NETGEAR® routers with Live Parental Controls.

Each router will come with a management utility that you will need to install on your computer and run to configure your router.  The management utility comes with the installation CD provided with the router or it can be downloaded from here.

Instructions for installing the user utility software can be found on the instruction file provided on our website here - under 'NETGEAR® Live Parental Control Installation Instructions'.  Download the PDF file and follow the instructions.

OpenDNS content filtering is technically a free service. For legal purposes let it be noted that we do not re-sell OpenDNS content filtering or any other OpenDNS services. We advertise the router which is modified to use OpenDNS, and we charge a fee for the service we do to employ the content filtering on the router as well as the content filtering setup and support. There is no licensing or subscription fee included.  We are regarded as a managed service provider and are legally permitted to provide a service to our customers by the OpenDNS terms of use

NETGEAR® Live Parental Controls is also a free service, powered by NETGEAR® and OpenDNS.  We do not resell the service, but only sell the router, and for a fee setup the router if the customer requests it. 
Content filtering is not a perfect solution and as there are a variety of ways to bypass any content filtering system we cannot promise 100% success in applying our content filtering system to your network.

Please contact us if you have anymore questions.
