Are Your Kids Spending Too Much Time Gaming When They Should Be Sleeping? Geeks on Wheels Provide Wi-Fi Parental Control Solutions

With the rise in popularity of tablets and smartphones late-night gaming has become more and more common for kids throughout New Zealand. It is undeniable that late-night gaming is affecting the sleeping routines of many kids nationally, leading to a lack of motivation in the classroom.

Recently, Menzies College Principal Gerry Ward reported in an article that he had seen the impacts that late-night gaming had on pupils at his school first hand. The South Island principal reported that late-night internet gaming was affecting his pupils schooling and study habits directly.

While there is only so much that schools can do to help, late-night gaming habits can be tackled at home. Up until now there has been very little that could be done, leaving some parents stumped for solutions.

In an effort to help curb the number of hours kids spend playing games throughout the night, Geeks on Wheels, a professional mobile computer support task force, now provides an easy solution for Kiwi parents: The Deco M5 Whole-Home Mesh Wi-Fi System.

The Deco Mesh Wi-Fi System is composed of three separate devices that operate together as one elegant solution: providing mesh Wi-Fi, firewalling and security, and customisable, easy to use Parental Controls.

This system provides complete parental control, including setting up profiles for each child defining what can and cannot be accessed and when, setting bedtime time limits where internet is not accessible specifically for that child after their bed time, setting up allowances for hours spent per weekday and per weekend, and even ensuring that parental internet usage is prioritised over gaming sites.

The Deco System is also equipped with a built-in antivirus protecting every Wi-Fi enabled device in your home from viruses, scams and malware and allows you to block specific websites of your choosing. All of these functions are easily controllable on your smartphone or tablet through the Deco app (available on both Google Play and the App Store).

As well as providing this innovative Wi-Fi solution, Geeks on Wheels are also doing two prize giveaways so you can get a Deco Mesh Wifi System in your own home absolutely free!
