Expert Answer

Use the built-in software that your router already has. Most routers have spots where you can enter specific sites that you don't want people to visit.

Question

How can I see the WiFi password in LAN connected computer?

Community Answer

Look for the default Gateway, it's generally the IP address of the Router. Open that address in a web browser. Then login to the login page of router (the general id is "admin" and password is "password" or "admin" or look on the net for default router passwords). Look for wireless settings, there you can get the password. Note: this won't work if the default credentials are changed for the router login page or if they are using a firewall.

Question

How can I block the games from my router?

Community Answer

First off, go to your router settings main page locate a tab that says: Firewall, web filtering, filter etc. Once you are in that tab, go for an option called block domain and add the URL to which the game connects to when playing online. For example: Fortnite connects to epicgames.com, so just add it to your block list and save settings, your router will restart and it's done!

Question

Can I block YouTube from my router?

Community Answer

Yes, just like any other site. You will use the settings for the second option since YouTube is an encrypted website.
