I currently have an AC68U and N66U and I want to use the N66U for devices I want to have reliable parental control over (NAT Acceleration disabled). I obviously want to leave NAT Acceleration enabled on the AC68U. Would I have to have a different subnet for the N66U and DHCP enabled etc for this to work? if so I presume that would hamper sharing between the two subnets, my file shares from my main router and PC's connected to the AC68U for instance and vice versa.

Thanks.
 
This has been asked/answered a ton of times - search is your friend - but basically if you set up the second router as a NAT'ed router, you'll have a fair amount of control over devices using that router for access..

Thanks for the little tip, I'll try and hunt something down.

Ill try over the weekend the following:
Set ip of secondary router to 192.168.1.2, disable firewall, disable dhcp, disable nat acceleration, connect the routers lan to lan, enable parental controls on second router test out time restrictions for wireless and wired connections to second router. DHCP range on main router starting at 192.168.1.3.
