When you buy a router, you want it to be fast and reliable, but you also want it to be safe. Blocking online threats, constantly updating to combat the latest vulnerabilities, and providing a safe internet experience for children are all hallmarks of what a good router should do.
With compatible ASUS routers comes an all-encompassing technology called AiProtection that handles your networking security for you. Most importantly, it works without a paid subscription.
Alongside cybersecurity brand Trend Micro, ASUS AiProtection defends all devices connected to your router. It updates around the clock to keep on top of threats as they emerge while automatically isolating any infected devices.
For many households, one of the most valuable things ASUS AiProtection does is simplify online safety. A set of powerful and free parental controls helps you monitor children’s internet access and protect them from accessing potentially harmful material.
ASUS AiProtection parental controls
It’s practically impossible to monitor children’s online activities without some help. From the outset, the parental controls included with ASUS AiProtection make staying safe easy. Via the ASUS Router app, you can assign each child a profile unique to them that enables age-appropriate internet access via their devices.
These profiles include various age ranges with preset settings, like blocking instant messaging and streaming services or mature content. Alternatively, you can customise profiles to suit each child’s needs. For example, they might need to access specific services for schoolwork, so you can enable some services while blocking others.
A dashboard in the app also provides data about family member internet usage. This includes information about how much data each person downloads and at what time of day as well as the list of top 5 frequently used apps. With the detailed insights it produces, the ASUS Router app helps you make informed parenting decisions.
ASUS AiProtection’s customisable parental controls extends to time limits too. All from the app, you can set windows of time children can access the internet. Even for adults, it’s easy to lose hours browsing websites or scrolling through social media apps, so it’s a good idea to remove the temptation to help keep bedtimes consistent.
That doesn’t mean the time limits are set in stone. The app supports different limits for weekdays versus weekends, and it’s also possible to add extra time as needed with the flexible reward feature. It all then feeds back into the dashboard, letting you know how long your kids spend online.
Underpinning the parental controls is a set of adjustable content filters that stops inappropriate materials from reaching your children’s devices. It blocks content like adult videos and violent material for starters, with plenty of other content types also available for filtering. You might be comfortable allowing online video games but not news websites, with the app supporting modular control over access to different types of content.
How does ASUS AiProtection eliminate online threats?
In addition to the robust parental controls, AiProtection actively protects your connected devices around the clock. Tapping into Trend Micro’s data centres, ASUS routers that support AiProtection secure your home with enterprise-level security.
Operating at multiple levels, the technology initially scans for and removes any vulnerabilities from your home network. It then shields your devices while in use, so you don’t accidentally stumble across a dangerous website. AiProtection also tackles malware and any other online threats, all while running in the background.
This last point is important – network security shouldn’t come at the expense of performance. One-Tap Safe Browsing, for example, can block explicit content, vulnerabilities, and even advertisements by applying a DNS filter. The result is a protective layer that doesn’t slow down your router.
In the event that anything is detected, you’ll receive a notification to keep you in the loop. AiProtection will automatically take any necessary actions, but it’s good to be aware of any risks so you can avoid any potentially harmful websites in the future.
Even when you’re away from the security blanket of AiProtection at home, there’s still another tool at your disposal. ASUS Instant Guard helps boost public Wi-Fi security by redirecting data through your home router acting as a personal VPN server. It lets you enjoy the security features of AiProtection wherever you are, like when using your phone at a café.
Online security is a must in this interconnected age. ASUS AiProtection comprehensively streamlines the process of securing your network, leaving you with one less thing to worry about.
