Parental, Scheduling Controls a Nuisance.......2005-08-28

The Motorola BR700 has great security and port forwarding features. It has selective packet filtering, as well as "ping" protection from the WAN side of your network. If these features are all you need, then the BR700 might be a good choice. However, if you require trustworthy scheduling and/or parental controls for you network, you should consider another router. In my network, I run 6 computers, and have tried and tried to get the parental controls to work as specified. The best I could do was to get a particular computer to turn on or off, completely ignoring the scheduling and web filtering (URL, Keyword) settings. The apply, reset combo did not work for me. As one reviewer said, it took him hours to get his parental controls to work...Who wants to spend hours of their time fiddling with "arcane" settings, which should be intuitive? I would gladly have given this router 5 stars if everything had worked as advertised.

Parental Control Does Work.......2005-08-16

I've bought this router because of its parental control also, then spent long hours trying to decode its settings, and finally made it work. Just add a rule, hit "Apply", then hit "Restart". This last action is necessary! The router works awesome. But I give it 4 stars because of its really cryptic settings...

Parental Controls Do Not Work.......2005-07-22

The Motorola BR700 is a very secure router with abundant controls and features. It would be the perfect router--if only everything worked as specified. Motorola advertises its BR700 possesses "robust" parental controls, and it is one of the main reasons I bought it. However robust these controls may be, THEY DO NOT WORK. I have contacted Motorola concerning this issue, and am awaiting a reply. As far as I know, no firmware update has been released to fix this problem. Recommendation: if parental controls are important to you, then purchase another router.

Bought this router through a hunch about motorolas quality, Ive owned this baby for 5 months now and not a single problem, its plug and play too!
