Why do I see duplicate names for computers and devices when setting up Parental controls?

0

When setting up Parental controls, you decide which computers and devices the Internet restrictions apply to. In the Set up Parental controls dialog box, sometimes, a computer or device name might be listed more than once. This can happen if: • A computer has connected to the Valet or Linksys Wireless-N Router both wirelessly and with a wired connection. • You have two of the same kinds of devices, such as phones, and both are listed with the same manufacturer name. • You’ve given the same name to more than one computer or device. If you want to set Parental controls for an item that is listed more than once, select all instances of the name in the Set up Parental controls for dialog box. This ensures that the Internet restrictions you set will apply to that computer or device.
