New Comcast Feature Allows Parents to Limit Time Kids Spend Accessing Wi-Fi

Comcast launched its parental control feature enabling parents to set a Wi-Fi usage time limit. Noting kids spend more time on devices during summers, Comcast cited Wakefield Research finding three-quarters of parents want a way to turn off their children’s Wi-Fi access whenever they want. When a kid is close to reaching the allotted time limit, the parent can receive a push notification, text or email alert and extend the time or pause Wi-Fi access.
