netgear routers - which one is best for internet safety?

[exasperatedemma]

Having read a few peoples threads about blocking certain sites, it seems that Netgear routers do the best job - does anyone know which is best (hopefully not too expensive) - we currently have a bT one that doesn't allow you to put any filtering settings on it. I have all sorts of filter settings for the laptops but of course, the ipad is a wide open thing!

Also, some people seem to say that if you press the reset button on the router, it cancels out everything anyway - that's not much good as that's exactly what my kids would do! help!

I've nevet heard of routers blocking sites.

Call up Netgear and ask them before you buy. Or try Trendnet (I like their routers - especially because they are totally mac compatible and their customer service is really superb). Just call their tech line and ask which router would serve your needs best. I have set hours on my Trendnet wireless router which keep my ds from accessing the internet between the hours of 9pm-6am while still allowing everyone else in the house to get online. You can also easily block sites on my router.
