Net GenieHome Wi-Fi Router Adds Parental Controls for iPad Tablets, Smartphones and PCs
Enter NetGenie, a Wi-Fi router for the home that plugs directly into the cable modem and which also offers security protection from invasive malware and viruses.
Edison, NJ, October 08, 2011 --(PR.com)-- With kids and teens doing more and more of their Internet browsing on smartphones and tablets like the iPad, a software-based approach to monitoring and blocking Internet access to adult content or age-inappropriate websites will no longer work.
Enter NetGenie (http://www.netgenie.net), a Wi-Fi router for the home that plugs directly into the cable modem and which also offers security protection from invasive malware and viruses.
Developed by 12-year Internet security veteran Cyberoam, NetGenie is the first Wi-Fi router that comes pre-configured with parental controls and anti-virus.
NetGenie parental controls provide default settings according to age group, blocking websites and applications deemed inappropriate, yet allowing the administrator (mom or dad) to grant permissions by adding to a whitelist of allowed sites.
NetGenie offers parents a smart way for dealing with unruly Internet access and distractions, especially during homework time. Being a Wi-Fi router that plugs directly into the home’s cable modem, the device can control access to smartphones, gaming consoles and popular tablets such as the iPad and Android tablets.
Any device connected to the home’s Wi-Fi signal can be managed.
For example, parents can suspend Internet access per individual for an allocated date or block of time, say from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm Monday through Thursday, allowing free access Friday to Sunday if they so choose to.
NetGenie (http://www.netgenie.net) is also equipped with Internet security safeguards including a firewall, anti-virus protection, and intrusion prevention.
"We designed NetGenie to make it simple for families to protect their kids from unsafe and adult Internet content, and to control the time they spend online on social networks, shopping or gaming sites, or anything else you want to manage," said Jacob Thankachen, Associate Vice President for Americas, Cyberoam. "We also made it a no-brainer to keep hackers, viruses and other intruders at bay when your family surfs the Internet."
Additionally, the device can generate reports on Internet activities such as websites visited, applications used, attempts made to visit blocked websites or applications, along with virus and intrusion reports.
NetGenie can be configured using any Internet-access device in the home. Settings for individual members of the family can be made.
