Hi there

Noticed my friends Cable/Virgin modem has a pretty decent content filter with it.

does anyone know if any ADSl routers have this feature? would be great for my nieces.

thanks

You can use the opendns service with any router which will give you basic filtering, have a look.

Some netgear adsl routers have opendns built in. My Netgear DGN2000 does, it uses the opendns filtering system and works pretty well. It forces users to use the open dns servers. You can specify in your open dns account what categories you want to block. and can set up bypass accounts.

I use OpenDNS as well but for information the Draytrek routers offer content filtering.
