Kinda off topic, but I think it belongs here

This has very little to do with addiction (other than I am one) but about kids and internet. Most of our children have devices. I use parental controls, time limits, everything I can do. The ones in school are limited to a few hours in the evening plus wider parameters on the weekends.

We use a wireless internet booster and the older ones discovered they can go in through that and I cannot see it on my parental controls. We discovered this the hard way when we had to call the internet company and he could see what was happening.

I thought about changing the password every few days but its a pain to re-enter it on so many devices. I need the web full time for work, so I can't just shut the modem down.

Any ideas? I thought of buying a more powerful router so we could do away with the booster. I thought of using another parental control system other than what the cable company gave us.
