      @fuznutz04 I use Dyn's Internet Guide at home on a separate SSID/VLAN for the "family" wifi, so far that is working well.

        My daughter is in second grade and used to use a Chromebook, but has been mostly on iPads until now. This year we got her a Windows 10 laptop to use.

          @scottalanmiller Any specific reason for the Win10 laptop VS something else?

            There are a number of cases that you can use with your tablet - many I have seen for the iPad itself are rather robust in that they can survive a real thrashing.

              We replaced an older, lightweight laptop, so we gave it to her. We homeschool, and I use some curricula with online components so it made sense for her to have her own laptop. She also has an iPad and a kindle Fire.

                @Dominica Good to know. He has a kindle as well, but mostly uses it for watching movies. It's older and is showing it's age in performance.

                  She has lots of educational resources that are Windows-only, so stuck with that for a lot of her for now.

                      We use iPads for the kids. They don't know the passwords, and I add all websites in manually.

                        @jt1001001 Thanks, I'll check those guys out. And I like the idea of having a separate WLAN for the kiddos.
