does it have a firewall / content filter built in

Firewall, yes. Content, no. For the most part the firewall is stateless, but it does have a little session oriented filtering. Content filtering can only be accomplished based on known IPs, ports, etc.

The upcoming firmware (v1.8) will give you the ability to easily drop connections at the firewall otherwise another way to do it would be to use OpenDNS or a similar service to block specific types of content.

So I just bought mine, and I have yet to receive it and try it, but I *think* it does. Here is an example of how one person configured theirs, and used Squid Guard for web filtering (section 3) http://virantha.com/2014/08/22/setting-up-edgemax-edgerouter-lite-erlite-3/*edit* See my post on Dec 3rd, 2014 to see how to enable web filtering.

It does have a firewall, but no content filtering (in the normal sense). The web interface is much more limited, but you have many more configuration options on the command line if you wish to dig into it. The OS is a fork of the Vyatta v6.3 code, so you can use those documents for a reference (ftp://ftp.het.net/iso/vyatta/vc6.3/docs/). For instance, I have mine configured as a stateful, zone-based firewall.

I have line filters because I have DSL. Not being terribly technologically talented, not sure if this is what you're asking.

It does. It used browser such as Firefox, Chrome, IE. There is an IP address you will use to access the machine.

It does have security options. It allows you to allow/deny access based on IP addresses and MAC addresses which may be of use in your situation.

I don't believe that it can. It can block based on port numbers or IP addresses, but not URLs or tags.

Yes, it does. It's under the category of magic. Different filters and settings.

No it doesn't. I believe it could be installed though, if one is able to download the feature.

Pat - Contact your service provider regarding blocking options they may offer. Thanks!

Yes, it does. It also has limited memory for internet, so heavy surfing can overload the limited memory.

Mine did. The filter media is shown in the image that accompanies this message.

Not that I am aware of. My son researched and was okay with it for security. He is in that business. I found it much easier to set up wpa2 once I did the firmware update that I found. Also, running the set up on chrome didn't display correctly affecting my security setup. I ran it on Firefox with better results.

No. It is built into the software and hardware of the unit. Do not know of any brand that has what you ask.

Yes, it has to install special software. Works like a charm. Had to turn off Windows Firewall during installation - just like it says in the manual.

The firewall allows you to define Services and ports that you can allow or block based on several schedules. I haven't used these features.

I don't know if you're question has already been answered but yes, it does have parental controls. Once you start the internet, just click the menu button and settings and you'll see it there. You can activate the parental controls and have the option of setting your own pin to make sure that the control doesn't get turned off.
