Hi @Yianni,

We'd love to help.

I'd like to know what modem/router you're using to setup a Parental Control?

Device name and Mac Addresses can usually be found on the actual device that you're trying to control.
Usually, these information can be found on Device Status ( depends on device/s that you have )

Ex, Android (Version 6.0.1 -  Marshmallow)

Go to Settings > About Device > Status > ( Wi-Fi Mac address )

We have 2 ways of setting up the Parental Control ( depends on your modem/router feature )

1. MAC address filtering allows you to define a list of devices and only allow those devices on your Wi-Fi network.

2. URL filtering allows you to control access to Internet websites by permitting or denying access to specific websites based on information contained in an URL list. You can maintain a local URL list on the router, and you can use URL lists stored on Websense or Secure Computing URL filter list servers.

Hope this help.
