Youth have no rights until the day they turn 18. All you young anarchists who think you can do as you please under my roof when you're still a teenager have another thing coming.

yes if you go to restrictions in settings you will be able to lock the internet and unable to get on unless you have the password

Tell your mother she is a sick ageist and belongs in a hospital for the mental. And you should check out youthrights.org because this is America, and you deserve rights.

This is not an internet security product. It it a data security product. It's a USB data key that needs a passcode before it will operate. It has nothing to do with the Internet.

Yes. It is part of the configuration. I can't remember exactly where, but once you are logged onto the device, there is a checkbox for disabling the Wi-Fi. I would think you would prefer to just buy another router. It's easier and faster and maybe more secure.

I don't know as at this point as I no longer have access to it (bought it for parents). I would imagine that anyone who read my review would avoid this thing at all costs. Good luck!

I know that Android has some controls built into it natively. I do not think that there are a lot of parental controls in the Kyros. But I do know that there are quite a bit of Parental Control Apps that you can download as well.

My son (IT guy) installed the router for me so he could answer that. But I can tell you that it does offer the capability to turn it off and on from your computer as the router admin. I control the wi-fi access. I bought this router to put in a vacation home I rent out. I live next door to this rental, so I am always able to use the internet, but I can control from my house if the guests can use the wi-fi or not by simply clicking on the icon on my desktop, and clicking "Enable" or "Disable". It's very simple. I am not an IT person, and once he installed the router, and showed me how to control access to the wi-fi, I have not had any issues. So yes, you can turn off the wi-fi, but as far as I know, you do it through your computer.

This is a TOY. It is not a computer. It does not support Windows, nor does the NSA use it to spy on your child. This is ONLY A TOY. This message mainly intended for future viewers, and not the original inquirer.

You still hear the sounds on these, but I prefer that so I can moniter what is being said. I really don't think children should be set loose on the internet without an adult present because there are a lot of inappropiate things said on the internet, especially in these game rooms. I moniter everythilng when my grandkids are on the internet. When they hear me say that's enough they know to get out of that game right then or I will take the Xbox.

Yes, I'm not a computer expert either. I am just a basic user. I really love it. It seems user friendly to me and I enjoy using it. I get my e-mail and look up different things and play games. What is also nice is that you can take it wherever you want in the house and it runs off a battery providing you get the wireless router for it, which doesn't cost much. I would buy it again if needed. Have fun.

You can't use your home internet and connect to this at same time. You can plug it in to you pc directly but then it's not like a external hard drive. I highly recommend buying a wirless router with a USB port. You than can connect and external hard drive you want and connect to all your pc's including internet.

there is bloatware, some things you might want to keep, others you wont, shut off the ones you wont use, removing them is easy enough but they come back so turn them off so they arent running. you can customize it and make some changes to get rid of many things but some stuff is just there.

You need to remove the case. I guess you could do it with the case still on but it would be so awkward and probably break the door to the plug....... it's not worth it. for all intents and purposes you need to remove the case. i bought a transend wifi sd card and a charger with 2 batteries to minimize how much i will have to take the case off. it works for me, maybe a deal breaker for you.

I have to delete items via the link to my computer. I have never been able to get it to delete on its own.

I just read this. Very good info. But does the computer have to be on the internet all the time or just on. I do not mind keeping it on but I find my router often goes off the internet if I leave it too long. Can you Help LaRaine

Nabi has something called "Mommy/Daddy" mode that allows parents or whoever to get to the REAL tablet functions and internet. My grandson would watch Netflix on his without a problem. There was no app, he just went straight to the website and "Voila!" He still does it. The 4GB memory limitation may be a problem (speedwise) but you can always contact Nabi directly at 1-885-ASK-NABI, https://www.nabitablet.com/support/products/nabijr, or go to their site and chat with a representative. One of my grandson's (the one that uses Netflix, YouTube, and other sites on his) has the Nabi Tablet. My smaller grandson has this one (the 5"). So, far except for the memory. They basically work the same. Another commenter here said she returned the Nabi Jr and got a Kindle for her child. That was a good, and more expensive choice. We have Kindle Fires too. Kindles have parental controls in the "Kindle Freetime" mode and, as she says, you can buy or download apps to them...if you are a little tech-savvy. Problem is the Kindles are not very good choices for kids under 7 unless you are "warrantied-up" or your kid is advance beyond his or her years in handling technology! Your choice. Good luck!

There is internet if you have wifi, and there are parental settings that can be placed on it with a passcode

I totally agree. Mom is at home and does spend lots of time with him. There's LOTS of one on one: reading, playing with toys, floor time, swimming .. She's just researching different areas of learning, so if she's going to get one anyway, I just wanted to know which one. Like many people, their TV stays on most of the time and in that case I'd rather he see something educational than daily tv shows. Didn't mean to offend your sensibilities.
