When grades slip, the Wi-Fi takes a study break.

HomeRoom reads your kids' grades from the school portal. If a class drops below the bar you set, their devices go into focus mode on your home Wi-Fi until the grade comes back up. You set the rules once and stop being the bad guy every night.

Works today with ParentVUE and most routers — UniFi, MikroTik, OpenWrt, ASUS and more. On Xfinity, Spectrum, Cox or AT&T, a small Kids Wi-Fi box does the job.

How it works

Step 1

Connect the school portal

Sign in with your ParentVUE parent account. HomeRoom checks grades several times a day. No portal? Type grades in by hand from the report card.

Step 2

Set the bar for each kid

Pick the lowest grade you'll accept, like C-, and optionally a limit on missing assignments. Add a school-night bedtime for Wi-Fi if you want one.

Step 3

Run the home connector

One line on any always-on computer at home — or the router itself — pauses and resumes the devices you assign, by MAC address. Your router password never leaves your house.

Parents stay in charge

  • Pause or allow any kid for an hour, two hours or until tomorrow morning, from your phone.
  • Only devices you assign are ever touched. Your own laptop and the TV are left alone.
  • Every change is logged with the reason, so there's no arguing about why the Wi-Fi went off.
  • Your ParentVUE password is encrypted. Delete it any time and it's gone.
