Why it matters

Kids online face risks they can't always see

The internet is a powerful place to learn and play — but children need guardrails that they can't switch off themselves.

🚫

Inappropriate content

Adult material, violence, and gambling sites are one mistyped search away. Filters block them before they load.

⏰

Excessive screen time

Late-night scrolling affects sleep, studies, and mood. Scheduled internet hours build healthy routines automatically.

💬

Strangers & scams

Chat apps and games expose kids to people they don't know. Controls limit who can reach them — and alert you when rules are tested.

How it works

Three layers of protection, working together

Parental controls are strongest when applied at more than one level. Sikka Broadband supports all three.

1

Network level — your Sikka router

One setup that covers every phone, laptop, TV, and tablet connected to your home WiFi. This is the foundation.

  • Block age-inappropriate websites for the whole household
  • Pause the internet for specific devices at bedtime or study hours
  • Works even on new devices your child connects later
2

Device level — phones, tablets & PCs

Built-in tools on each device add rules that travel with your child, even outside home WiFi.

  • Restrict app installs, downloads, and in-app purchases
  • Prevent changes to privacy settings or passwords
  • Use Google Family Link (Android), Screen Time (iPhone/iPad), or Microsoft Family Safety (Windows 10/11)
3

Content level — apps, search & streaming

Fine-tune what appears inside the services your family already uses.

  • Enforce SafeSearch on Google and Bing
  • Set age ratings on YouTube Kids, Netflix, and gaming platforms
  • Control who your kids can chat with on messaging apps

Getting started

Set up in three steps

Turn on router-based controls

Log in to your Sikka Broadband router and enable parental controls — this protects every device on your network at once. Use the router guides below, or call our support team and we'll walk you through it.

Add device-level rules

Set up Google Family Link, Apple Screen Time, or Microsoft Family Safety on your child's devices for app limits and purchase restrictions that work anywhere.

Consider a dedicated app

For all-in-one monitoring and control, families often use trusted software like Net Nanny, Norton Family, or Qustodio alongside network controls.

A team effort

Technology is the guardrail. Conversation is the road.

Controls work best when your kids understand why they exist. Talk openly about online safety, agree on rules together, and for older children, reassure them you'll respect their privacy while keeping them secure.

🗣️ Agree on screen-time rules together, not just for them
🔍 Ask what they enjoy online — curiosity beats surveillance
🤝 Make it safe to tell you if something online scared them
📈 Loosen controls gradually as they earn trust
FAQs

Common questions

Do parental controls cost extra on Sikka Broadband?
No. Router-based parental controls are included free with every Sikka Broadband connection, and our support team will help you set them up at no charge.
Will controls slow down my internet speed?
No. Content filtering and scheduling happen at the router level and have no noticeable impact on your broadband speed.
Can my child bypass the controls?
Router-level controls are difficult to bypass because they apply to the network itself, not the device. For stronger protection, combine them with device-level rules and keep your router admin password private.
Can I set different rules for different devices?
Yes. Most routers let you create profiles per device — so your child's tablet can have bedtime limits while your work laptop stays unrestricted.
What if I need help setting this up?
