Re: Weird problem with parental controls disappearing on T3200M
The parental controls have disappeared once again, even after the factory reset. This is now the second time in less than a week. I just spoke with tech support again and she said this is the first time they've ever heard of it and nobody has reported this issue before! So I guess jujubehead and my report didn't count! Anybody else's parental controls disappeared in their GUI advanced setup?21KViews0likes11CommentsRe: Help needed! Tech Savvy kids & wifi
I've already taken away her laptop. She doesn't get wifi on her phone (unless earned which is rare bc she thinks it's a right) but she can still play games and watch whatever she's downloaded. Last time I tried to take her phone away, things did not end well...13KViews0likes3CommentsRe: Help needed! Tech Savvy kids & wifi
I agree. I believe there's a screen addiction piece when kids go to such lengths to get wifi. I've actually looked into getting a lockbox but she can still take the power cord for the modem. She's done it before. If she can't have WiFi then no one can attitude. Now I have an extra power cord locked in my room. If there's no way to stop her from plugging in the ethernet cable from our printer into her laptop to access wifi (after resetting the modem), not sure what else to do but pay for relocation and hope for the best. I noticed again the parental controls section of the Telus GUI has disappeared AGAIN!13KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Help needed! Tech Savvy kids & wifi
I'm afraid you're right. I just may have to pay for modem to be relocated. Was hoping for other options first. I read about disabling the ethernet connection on her laptop so I tried it but it did nothing. I've heard of meraki but I'm not that tech savvy and my friend who has it has issues with it competing with her wifi. Yes, I know other parents with similar issues. Thank you!13KViews0likes0CommentsHelp needed! Tech Savvy kids & wifi
I have parental controls set up on my modem. My daughter has figured out a work around. She resets the modem to default then unplugs the printer ethernet cable and plugs it into her laptop. She gets full internet access and the rest of us are knocked out. I have her laptop blocked (wireless & hard wired) but the reset deletes everything. Are there any other options other than physically moving the modem? (It would cost me to relocate to another part of the house.) When she did this last night, the parental controls in the Telus GUI had even disappeared!!Solved13KViews0likes13CommentsRe: I just learned Telus is migrating webmail to Gmail!
I had no idea!! I've not heard anything about this until a minute ago when I read this. Have they been letting us know? Did I miss some emails? I've been having issues and daily errors with Telus email since the huge mess up last August. I've complained several times but it STILL has not been resolved!! It's been over a year!!18KViews0likes8Comments
