Can I monitor which sites a child is accessing with T3200 router?
I've looked through the router settings and I can't see an ability to monitor which sites are being visited. I do see the Parental Controls but that only blocks sites a parent already knows about. Al...
You might need to seek tools on the device itself, rather than the modem. There are a variety of child-minding software applications which may better meet your needs.

Community Power UserMost routers will not have the feature to monitor what is being accessed. You need something more enterprise grade for that. You'll also find most kids can get around parental controls also. You could try installing software on your kids computer to monitor what they access but you still won't be able to block everything. If it's a tablet or phone, then it's much harder.
There are countless sites out there that have content that parents may object to their kids seeing. Depending on the age of your kids, they may have already seen some of that content as well, either at home or elsewhere. Often the best courses of action if your kids are old enough is to discuss inappropriate content with them, why they shouldn't be looking at it, and consequences if they do.
Thanks Nighthawk. My situation is more complex. The situation is a child accessing online content that is harmful to their mental health and they don't have the maturity to honour a promise not to visit those sites.
