Please can someone help me, I have just moved to SKY for broadband and there isn't any parental controls available for it. Can anyone recommend a work around before I cancel the service and go back to BT. I don't mind buying a new router if it gives me a good service. I've already got a NETGEAR GS308, plugged into it for my wired network, so if there's anything that can control at device level that would be perfect.

Thank you, I can't see how this would allow me to turn off the wifi/internet to individual devices. could be missing it though 🤷♀️

@SKY1992bf They don't offer sky max with the fibre broadband 🤦♀️ it's so frustrating. I wonder if I need a 3rd party router. Or
just give it all up and go back to BT ☹️☹️

Parental Controls are built into the white Max Hub, but only activated with the WiFi Max subscription supplement.

The Max Hub is the default hardware for all Ultrafast FTTP, but Sky won't offer the WiFi Max add-on at addresses with more than one Q Mini box or Q wireless booster.
