OK, so one of my kids, 13, has a problem with the internet. He goes everywhere hes not supposed to. They got ipads from school and for the first year they actually did ok with blocking things like FB and snapchat but hes finding ways to go where he wants. The ipad is to be used for school work, its not being done.
Anyway, we have a linksys router and I have put the parental controls on, hid my wifi password, and try to monitor them as best I can. When he comes home and has homework, I put in the wifi pass, undo the parental controls, and sign him on. When hes done, either I do it or I watch him make it forget the network.
Well, he found out how to get my wifi pass now. He goes into the internet settings, where the pass is he hits show characters and there it is. He does this on my wifes laptop. She has a passworded SS but its set to 10 mins. If she leaves to the bathroom, or even to smoke or something he gets on it.
Today, I found out he guessed my router pass and turned the parental controls off.
Long story short, are there any ways to disable the wifi from showing or require a pass to even get in there? If the ONLY way is to lock it for even getting up for 5 mins, then so be it, but we forget to to it and we really want a better way.
