Safe Browsing with Parental Controls from eero

Jan 28, 2026

In today's hyper-connected households, managing screen time, maintaining focus, and keeping your family safe online can feel overwhelming. Fortunately, with features like Profiles and Content Filtering powered by eero Plus- which is included free with eero WiFi, you can easily customize how devices access the Internet—ensuring peace of mind, and productivity should you decide to turn devices off until the kids’ rooms are clean.

Why Use Profiles?

Profiles are a powerful way to organize and control all the devices connected to your network. With just a few taps in the app, you can:

  • Create user profiles for each family member.
  • Assign specific devices to each profile.
  • Set schedules for when the Internet should be available.
  • Pause access manually.
  • Apply age-appropriate content filters to ensure safe browsing.

Profiles offer a robust solution for content management: whether it’s ensuring distraction-free dinners to managing a safe space online for your kids, profiles let you take charge.

Content Filtering Options

While eero already keeps your network protected from outside threats, content filtering ensures the people inside your home stay safe too. With eero Plus, you can turn on filters that block unsuitable or harmful online content.

Content filters are customizable per profile, meaning each family member gets settings appropriate to their age and needs. You decide what’s allowed, and eero Plus takes care of the rest.

eero’s upgraded filtering options give you flexible parental controls offering filtering in both category as well as by age group. Categories now include: shopping, social media, chat & messaging, streaming and YouTube Restricted Mode. You can also choose from preset filtering levels—Pre-K, Pre-Teen, Teen, and Adult—which offer a quick starting point that you can tweak as needed.

Start customizing your network today—and enjoy a safer, smarter digital environment for everyone in your family.
