Parental Controls Create profiles for family members and specify the devices that belong to each. Set individualized parental controls including when and for how long each person can access the internet. Block inappropriate content and pause the internet if necessary.
Antivirus There are three ways Deco ensures your home network remains safe: by blocking malicious websites, by protecting your home network and applications against external attacks and eliminating vulnerabilities, and by preventing infected devices from sending sensitive information or security threats to clients outside your network.
QoS There are two ways to use the QoS (Quality of Service) function. You can prioritize the connection of a particular device for a set duration, such as a family member's laptop for one hour during a video call. You can also prioritize the online activity that's most important to the whole family, such as Streaming or Gaming.
