Using the router, it is possible to view all connected devices. Additionally, some models have a connection history. This is how you can determine who is using your Internet connection. For instance, if someone uses your password for unauthorized purposes.
3) IPTV and DLNA
If your router supports DLNA and IPTV, you can use sound reproduction equipment and view television via the router.
4) Traffic supervision capabilities
For instance, if a family member uses one of the sites for too long, you can block it through the router’s administrative section. Numerous modern routers include a parental control feature.
5) VPN
Numerous routers feature a VPN function, which, when appropriately configured, can ensure the security of all devices in the home.
6) Logging into the device externally
For instance, if the necessary files are stored on your computer, you can configure the router to access your local network from any location.
