Recommendation for wireless router with good parental controls?

As the subject states... I have been asked to recommend a home
wireless router by my son-in-law who has three boys. The most
important issue is to be able to define parental controls such as time
of use, ability to block domains and IP's, etc.

As I work with enterprise level equipment I am at a loss for this
recommendation. SO, any one who might be familiar, please recommend
away?

Thanks - Bob

Well, all of the Dlink routers that I have used have a feature whereby you
can block all traffic TCP/IP and UDP on a range of ports (1-64000) for
certain time ranges on selected days. They also allow you to block domains
or block URLs that contain certain strings (eg "xxx" although that has
drawbacks that are obvious)

A well stocked HOSTS file (for windows for example) can eliminate a lot of
known porn sites and malware sites and stupid popup blasters (see MVPHOSTS)

I think other home routers offer similar features... some are more
straightforward than others - there is usually lots of online/forum help
available for all of them.
