Google Family Link allows you to control any android device at no charge. The setup takes about 1 hour, but after that you can use your phone, or computer to find a lost device, set daily limits for surfing, authorize every app they request, lock down Youtube or any other app for age appropriate videos, see how much time was spent on what app, etc.

Apple Families also sets parental controls at your iPhone's fingertips. It has not been around as long as Family Link, so some of the features are untested. Check back, or sign up for updates.

There are more robust applications and hardware for employee and user monitoring, but we only listed the free ones above.  If you need to setup Home or Office WiFI 'meshes' to remove any dead, or weak signal spots. Mesh WIFI architecture uses a combination of hardware and a mobile app for a variety helpful uses.  It is relatively inexpensive and gives you the ability to control the internet gateway in and out of your home or office.
