Parental controls on G.Network

Free parental controls (router-level)

G.Network is the main central London altnet (now under FitzWalter Capital ownership from January 2026). G.Network broadband includes free parental controls at router level. A dedicated public-facing help page is not yet published since the ownership change; we recommend contacting G.Network support for the current setup guide.

How to switch it on

    G.Network includes free parental controls with every broadband plan.

  2. 02

    Sign into your router admin (address on the router label, typically the Nokia gateway URL).

  3. 03

    Find Parental Controls in the menu. Add devices and set schedules.

  4. 04

    For category-level adult and malware blocking on top, set Cloudflare for Families (1.1.1.3 / 1.0.0.3) on the router DNS.

  5. 05

    Email customer@g.network for the current parental controls PDF if you need a model-specific walkthrough.

Honest limits

What it covers and what it does not

Covers

Devices on home Wi-Fi via router scheduling.

Does not cover

No documented category-level filter from G.Network itself. No per-child profiles.

Also do this

Even with Free parental controls (router-level) turned on, adding a free DNS layer adds a second line of cover and closes some of the gaps. It takes about ten minutes and works on every device on your home Wi-Fi.
