Feature Details of Home Network Defender

Home Network Defender comes with unique Web Threat Protection technology. When you visit a web site, Home Network Defender is designed to evaluate its security risk in real time, and blocks sites identified as malicious, based upon the security level you choose. Choose between three security level settings to fit your specific browsing needs.

Unlike the traditional PC-based parental controls, the Parental Controls from Home Network Defender are built into your router. That means it allows you to control both the type of content and the time each device on your home network can access, including PC, Mac, gaming console, and other online devices.

You can assign one of the pre-defined configurations to each device based on your children’s age, or you can set up a customized rule. All configurations are password protected.

When someone tries to access an inappropriate web site, it will be blocked by Home Network Defender, and only an authorized person with the password can override it.

Interested in knowing how many threats have been blocked by Home Network Defender, or the activities in your network?

Home Network Defender provides you with an easy-to-use tool to monitor what goes in and out from your network and learn more about the risks associated with your family’s online activities.

You can access the Network Activity Report from the Linksys EasyLink Advisor, or customize and schedule the report to be delivered to your email inbox.
