What is Access control?

The Access control feature of your Home Hub lets you set the time and day a particular device can access the Internet. Learn more about How to create access controls on my Home Hub 3000 / Bell MTS Hub 3000 modem. As an example, you can limit the time your children spend online by specifying the day and time when their device (laptop, tablet, etc.) cannot access the Internet.

Note:

Access control only blocks ports 80 (http) and 443 (https) so it will not prevent devices from accessing shared files (documents, pictures, videos) on the local network.
