Router Limits

Router Limits users can switch to Bark Home for the same screen time and filtering features.

Bark acquired Router Limits in 2020. The Router Limits app and website stopped being supported on March 31, 2023.

The good news is that Bark now offers updated software to help you meet your screen time goals with the Bark Home and Bark routers.

FAQs

Since I already have a Router Limits account, can I use the same login for Bark?

No. Bark and Router Limits are separate systems, so you'll need to create a new Bark account. Check out our special promotion for Router Limits users.


What do I do with my Router Limits Mini?

You can unplug it and recycle it at an electronics recycler. Consider replacing it with a Bark Home. The Bark Home supports speeds up to 1Gbps, which is an upgrade from the 100Mbps that the Router Limits Mini supported.


What do I do with my Router Limits router?

Router Limits stopped filtering your network at the end of March 2023. You can still use it as a regular router. If you run into performance issues, turn off Router Limits in your router settings and restart your router.

To protect your network again, consider using a Bark Home or a router with Bark built-in. Learn about in-home filtering with Bark.

Note: RL-150 and RL-160 users can no longer access their router settings.


Do all routers with Router Limits built-in now have Bark built-in?

Not yet, but we're working with router manufacturers and ISPs to expand your options. Check whether your router has Bark built-in.
