# How to set up in-home filtering | Bark Technologies

Bark can help you block websites and apps on devices connected to your home Wi-Fi. For first-time setup, select the hardware you're using: Bark Home Router with Bark Built-In Already set up your hardware? Identify and name your devices to assign them to profiles and set screen time schedules. Do I need both a Bark Home and a router with Bark built-in? No, just one. Here's the difference: Bark Home : A small box you connect to your existing router to block apps and sites on home devices. With a Bark Premium subscription, it can also monitor texts, photos, and videos on iPhones and iPads. Router with Bark built-in : Some routers come with Bark's web filtering built in, so you can use them in place of your existing router for app and site blocking.
