How to Block Adult Content on a Netgear Router
Set up family-safe internet on any Netgear router in about 5 minutes — no software installs, covers every device on your Wi-Fi.
You'll need two things:
- 1 · A VeeShield account ($6.99/mo, unlimited devices, cancel anytime)
- 2 · Access to your router's admin panel at routerlogin.net
Open your Netgear admin panel
In any browser on your home network, go to routerlogin.net (or 192.168.1.1) and sign in with your router's admin credentials — often printed on the router's label.
Find the DNS settings
Go to Internet (on newer firmware: Basic → Internet). Scroll to the section called Domain Name Server (DNS) Address.
Enter the VeeShield resolvers
Select "Use These DNS Servers" and enter Primary: 185.236.104.104 and Secondary: 185.236.105.105.
Apply and restart
Click Apply. The router restarts its connection — give it a minute, then reconnect your devices.
Verify your protection
Sign in to your VeeShield dashboard and run the protection check on the Setup page. You should see "You're protected" within seconds.

Common questions
Will this slow down my internet?
No. VeeShield runs on a global anycast DNS network ranked the fastest filter in the world by DNSPerf — most homes actually see pages start loading faster, because ads and trackers get blocked before they download.
Does this cover phones and tablets too?
Yes — everything connected to your Wi-Fi is covered automatically: phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, and game consoles. Nothing to install on each device.
Can my kids just undo it?
The setting lives in your router's admin panel, which is protected by your router password. VeeShield also blocks the VPN and proxy sites commonly used to sneak around filters. For extra security, change your router admin password while you're in there.
What if a site gets blocked that shouldn't be?
Open your VeeShield dashboard and allow it with one click — the change takes effect in seconds.
