Create and manage profiles for devices connected to the AmpliFi network with the Family tab. This article includes information on how to create and configure a family profile which allows you to customize the internet experience for different people in your home, how to create "Quiet Time" to allow you to limit screen time, how to pause devices, so they lose access to the internet until you unpause them, and how to view information on this client device's connected at the time. QoS is also configured in the Family section, read about that in this separate article.
