Re: Social media apps not working in WiFi
@James173 The shield is the age protected filter on the DNS system, it protects the connection between the sky Hub and the Internet supplied through sky, there are multiple age limits to the content filter, when it is disabled then that is fine, you just have to take care off it on other devices that you feel requires that by another method!
Th Broadband Shield help explains it all!
