Increase your family’s digital wellbeing

The world is a big place, but the internet is an even bigger world, and as a parent, it can be a challenge to allow our kids their freedom while keeping them safe and keeping and ensuring they aren’t spending too much time online.

What happens when their favourite show or game is keeping them up at night? Or they are using websites you would rather they didn’t?

The Facts

97% of students use the internet daily according to the latest CSO data.

93% of 8-12-year-olds have their own smart device.

65% of kids are on social media despite the age restrictions.

At Aptus we understand this challenge and offer FREE solutions for our customers that allow them more control when it comes to managing their family’s digital wellbeing.

Aptus uses a Fritz! Box 4040 router as standard issue. This router has parental controls which allow parents to restrict internet use by device.

With Fritz!Box 4040 parental controls, you can set the number of hours per day allowed on a device or a group of devices. This means that a child’s mobile phone, tablet and gaming console can have a combined set time limit per day.

Screen limitations can also be set by the time of day, so internet use doesn’t happen outside of set hours. For example, children would have internet access until 6 pm each evening only, or just on the weekends.

While we all appreciate the amazing benefits the internet has to offer for learning, work and leisure having a healthy balance is essential for wellbeing.

Aptus parental controls are FREE for all Aptus customers on both fibre and wireless packages to find the best solution for you and your family contact us on 059-91-8030 or email [email protected]
