Are there any wireless routers that have parental controls?

jf3 asked:
We use ATT Yahoo DSL as our ISP. We have a 2Wire wireless router that works fine, but does not provide any parental controls. I have a couple of kids who have laptops and I would like to limit where they go on the internet. Is there a wireless router that has parental controls and will work with ATT DSL? Please note: I don’t want to install software on their laptops because they will find a way around it. I want to control internet access at the wireless router.

A quick search located a few routers that have parental controls. D-Link and ZyXEL both appear to have routers with built-in parental controls.
