Wireless RoutersWhen you have multiple devices in your home that you’d like to connect to the internet, the best way to facilitate that connection is to use something called a router. A router takes one internet connection and allows more than one device to access it at the same time.
Generally, we recommend a wireless router because it is easier for multiple devices in your home to share one connection when done over a wireless connection. For example, and depending on the age of your children, you may have: a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a gaming console such as a XBOX360 or PS3, a portable gaming system such as a Nintendo DS or Sony PSP and an iPod Touch or cell phone which has wifi built-in. All of these devices have the ability to connect to the internet and having to do so over a wired connection would have your living space looking like a bird’s nest at some point. A wireless connection however would allow you to forgo the nest of wires and share your internet connection, from just about anywhere in your average size home or apartment, with several devices.
Fortunately for many who are considering their internet options, Internet Service Providers are now including wireless internet devices when you subscribe to their services and they’ll even set up your home wireless network for you*.
*Check with your local provider as some may charge a fee for wireless internet setup.

Third party cellphone parental controls
Third party cellular parental control services often utilize a web based component with an application which resides locally on the child’s handset.
Some of these applications are cellular web browser replacements only, but will generally offer greater control over filtering than what cell service providers offer.
The third party parental control applications which offer the most robust options for parents are generally subscription based and carry with them a monthly fee, while browser replacements are generally a one-time fee.
Parental control applications we recommend are: MyMobileWatchdog.com and TeenSafe. Great browser replacement offerings for the iPhone/Touch/Pad are: internetsafety.com and NetNanny.

DLC – Downloadable Content
Downloadable content is simply: extra content for a video game which may be downloaded for that game from the game producer’s website or enthusiast sites. Most of the time, this content adds new levels to the games or new characters but in some cases it adds some adult options which may not have been part of the game at the time of purchase.
