Parental controls on Trooli

Router-level access control (Technicolor router)

Trooli covers parts of Kent, Surrey, and Sussex with full fibre. Their supplied router (typically a Technicolor) has device-level access control: you can schedule when each device gets internet, but there is no branded category-level filter. We recommend adding Cloudflare 1.1.1.3 (Cloudflare for Families) on the router DNS for adult content blocking.

Step by step

How to switch it on

  1. 01

    Sign into your router admin: open a browser and go to 192.168.1.1. Use the admin password printed on the underside of the router.

  2. 02

    Find Access Control or Parental Control in the menu. This varies slightly by router model.

  3. 03

    Add the device by MAC address (find the MAC on the device's Wi-Fi info screen).

  4. 04

    Set a Schedule for that device: which hours of which days the internet is allowed.

  5. 05

    Save and restart the router.

  6. 06

    For category-level adult content blocking, change the router DNS to Cloudflare for Families: primary 1.1.1.3, secondary 1.0.0.3. See our /dns/ guide for full instructions.

Honest limits

What it covers and what it does not

Covers

Per-device schedules (when each device can access the internet).

Does not cover

No category-level filter by default. No per-child profiles. Add DNS layer for adult content filtering.

Add a free DNS filter

Trooli does not run a network-level parental control filter. The fastest fix is to add a free DNS filter at your router. It covers every device on your Wi-Fi in one step and takes about ten minutes.
