    Hi
    I'm trying to block adult sites on my router so the kids can't access on their tablets
    I have Huawei F2000 and when I got to parental controls and put in a blocked word like Sex , I still can access it on their tablets.
    yet if I put in the word like Facebook it blocks it
    In my previous router I was able to block any word..

    Help!

    Not familiar with that model, but I would suggest the DNS route.

    Try OpenDNS

    OpenDNS has something called FamilyShield which blocks adult material with regular server updates.

    Fairly straight forward, just a case of changing your DNS IPs to the OpenDNS Servers.

    I cannot post the links for you, so just Google - opendns family shield

    Yeah, do it with openDNS not onboard, the builtin controls are too limited to be useful.

    "sex" is a pretty broad term to block. You'd essentially be blocking any site that discusses biology and nature.
