What is content filtering in router?
Content filtering is a process involving the use of software or hardware to screen and/or restrict access to objectionable email, webpages, executables and other suspicious items. Companies often use content-based filtering, also known as information filtering, as part of their internet firewalls.
Can I put parental controls on my router?
The first step is to log in to your router, as you would to change your network name and password. Once you've logged in, look for an option for parental controls or access restrictions. Not all routers have these options, and the location of these options can vary depending on the router you're using.
Why is content filtering enabled?
Content filtering helps protect your Sprint devices from adult content and malware while browsing the web on the Sprint network. When turned on, websites visited while on the Sprint network get screened for adult content (pornography), and malware.
