A Parent Control Checklist for Your Home Internet

By Bill Turner - The WiFi Dad 2026-03-02

Short answer: Use this order: router, phones, game systems, TVs, computers, apps, bypasses, and schedules.

Why this matters

Most parental control setups fail because they're random. A checklist keeps you from fixing one door while leaving three others open.

What to do first

  1. Secure the router.
  2. Set DNS/content filtering where supported.
  3. Lock phones and tablets.
  4. Lock game systems and Smart TVs.
  5. Close bypasses and set schedules.
