How to configure various devices attached to router
We use our Net Gear router wired. We have a router that connects to our computer and the one cord that connects to another Net Gear router. From that router are my children's devices since there is 5 ports. I would like to keep open our main computer but then put parental controls on the 5 port children's devices with blocking of some website so that they can access. How do I do that? I have the Genie connected to my main router. The NetGear 5 ports do not seem to have a Genie. The main Genie only shows the devices to where I can put what mode of filtering such as low medium moderate or high. Through the DNS, I tried doing parent controls with specific websites blocked but the sites are not blocking nor having the time limits I set. How do I do this? Thank you for letting me know.

I would recommend to not use the built-in Live Parental Controls, but standard OpenDNS instead. To achieve this you disable LPC and use the following instructions to configure the router where your children are connected to. However, this does not support time limits.

Not at all. You just configure the router. The devices should be set to obtain the network settings from the router automatically via DHCP.
