Protective DNS firm finds customers are increasingly blocking adult content, gambling sites 

WASHINGTON, D.C. – June 10, 2025 – Organizations are increasingly using content filtering not just to thwart security threats, but also to increase workplace productivity and enforce compliance. That’s according to new analysis from DNSFilter examining data collected from its DNS content filtering and threat-blocking platform. The findings highlight how web content filtering policies are evolving, as well as which categories organizations block most frequently.

One notable trend is that more companies are currently focused on blocking employees from accessing adult content and illegal torrenting sites on the internet, although corporate policies have evolved over the past year.

Among the findings:

  • Blocking adult content is one of the most common goals of organization’s content filtering and blocking policies: An examination of what companies are looking to block (outside of security threats) shows that adult content is present in over 84% of those policies; the P2P (peer-to-peer) and illegal category, which contains things like torrenting sites, followed closely behind with inclusion in 81% of policies. By contrast, the terrorism and hate category is blocked by close to 66% of companies, with gambling present in 51% of companies’ content filtering policies.
  • Policy creators are cracking down on access to “Self-harm” content: “Self-harm” sites have become a bigger focus for organizations; in fact, this category showed up in 234% more policies in 2025 than in the prior year.
  • Access to terrorism-related content is a growing concern:  While the terrorism and hate category is currently only included in about two-thirds of companies’ blocking policies, that represents more than a 5% increase compared to last year.
  • More policies are concerned with dating sites than weapons-related sites: Dating and personal sites are blocked by nearly 37% of policies, while weapons are included in 35%. This could indicate that dating and personal ad sites are seen as a bigger distraction for employees during the workday.
  • Certain categories are decreasing in importance: Search engines appeared in almost 19% fewer policies than they did in February 2024, while alcohol and tobacco were in 10% fewer polices.  We’ve also seen that ads are becoming a less frequently blocked category, likely because so many websites today depend on ads and trackers in order to operate.

These findings underscore the growing importance of adaptive content policies to balance security, compliance and workforce efficiency. Organizations can gain insights into shifting web usage patterns to update filtering policies effectively.

TK Keanini, CTO, DNSFilter, said: “Organizations are getting more nuanced in how they manage access to online content, because they understand that not all of the internet should be accessible to their users. Blocking threats is obvious, but these findings reinforce the idea that web filtering is no longer just a security function; it’s becoming a key productivity and compliance tool.”

In the world of acronyms, internet technology rules. The wireless acronym MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) got some additional letters a few years ago with with MU-MIMO and techies couldn’t be happier. Read on to find out what changed and why it matters.

What is MU-MIMO?

MU-MIMO stands for Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output, a technology introduced with WiFi 5 (802.11ac) that allows a router to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously. Multi-user MIMO represents a significant advance over single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO), generally referred to as MIMO. MIMO technology was created to increase the number of simultaneous users a single r WiFi router or access point can support.

This aim was initially achieved by increasing the number of antennas on wireless routers. Router technology builds on previous standards, with MU-MIMO technology supporting concurrent users accessing WiFi 6, WiFi 6E, and superfast WiFi 7 networks for both uplink and downlink wireless communications.

How Do SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO Work?

How Traditional Single-User MIMO (SU-MIMO) Works

In SU-MIMO, the router focuses all of its antenna “spatial streams” on one device at a time. It will then send a burst of data to the laptop, then pivot to the phone, then on to the smart TV. That stop-and-go sequencing is simple but adds latency whenever several gadgets compete for airtime.

  • All spatial streams target a single client during each transmission cycle.
  • Beam-forming locks the signal onto that client to maximize speed and reliability.
  • Other devices wait their turn, so busy networks can feel sluggish compared with MU-MIMO.

How Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) Works

With MU-MIMO, the router splits its antenna array into separate “lanes,” letting several devices receive data at the same time instead of queuing up for their turn.

  • Spatial streams are divided among multiple clients for true simultaneous transfers.
  • Bandwidth is allocated on the fly, so each device gets the speed it needs without slowing others.
  • Dedicated beamforming steers every stream toward its target, boosting overall capacity and throughput.

Benefits of MU-MIMO vs SU-MIMO for Home WiFi Users

There was a time not long ago when homes in the US had only a few connected WiFi devices. SU-MIMO could handle the load by servicing the first request while additional connections wait their turn. Times have changed and now the average US household has dozens of wireless devices like laptops, iPads, smartphones, and smart home IoT applications. The solution is MU-MIMO technology that allows multiple users to access router functions on spatial streams without the congestion.

Benefits of MU-MIMO for multiple devices include:

Reduced Buffering and Lag – MU-MIMO minimizes buffering during streaming and reduces lag in online gaming by providing a more stable connection. ​
Improved Network Efficiency – MU-MIMO increases overall network capacity and the number of streams available, allowing more devices to connect without compromising performance. ​
Enhanced User Experience – MU-MIMO facilitates smoother streaming, faster downloads, and more responsive WiFi efficiency for internet browsing.

Do You Need MU-MIMO?

Today’s WiFi routers are far more powerful than those supporting earlier WiFi standards. NETGEAR WiFi 7 routers with MU-MIMO and whole-home mesh systems are state-of-the-art, with real-world speeds up to 27 Gbps, coverage up to 10,000 sq. ft. and connectivity for 200+ devices. MU-MIMO is essential for most home internet users and advanced applications for streaming, gaming, and networking. But first you should:

  • Assess Your Network Needs – Determine if your current number of devices and internet usage patterns would benefit from MU-MIMO technology.
  • Consider Compatibility – Both the router and WiFi network connected devices need to support MU-MIMO to fully utilize its benefits for simultaneous data streaming.
  • Check your ISP and Modem Data Rates – You may need to upgrade your ISPs plan and your modem – a slow ISP plan will hold back even the fastest routers and mesh systems! The Nighthawk CM3000 Modem help you get the best from WiFi 7 routers.

How to Upgrade to MU-MIMO Enabled Routers

WiFi 7 and MU-MIMO technology sync perfectly with the latest virtual reality, augmented reality, AI applications, and streaming and gaming with millisecond response times. This is where the amazing NETGEAR router range stands tall, with powerful WiFi 7 routers with MU-MIMO for every price point.

Setting Up MU-MIMO

NETGEAR routers and WiFi mesh systems can be adapted to suit your needs. Note that on the latest NETGEAR Devices MU-MIMO is enabled by default. To setup or check on MU-MIMO enhancement is easy in a few simple steps.

MU-MIMO Setup: App Method

  1. 1. Launch the Nighthawk or Orbi App
  2. 2. Enter your Username and Password
  3. 3. Open the Advanced User Interface
  4. 4. Enable MU-MIMO and Save settings

MU-MIMO Setup: Web Interface Method

  1. 1. Launch a web browser from a device that is connected to your router’s network.
  2. 2. Enter www.routerlogin.net. A login screen displays.
  3. 3. Enter the router user name and password. The BASIC Home page or Dashboard displays.
  4. 4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.
  5. 5. Clear the Enable MU-MIMO check box to disable MU-MIMO or select the checkbox to enable MU-MIMO.

MU-MIMO Conclusion

Understanding MU-MIMO technology in routers is straightforward. MU-MIMO reduces latency and improves performance during data-intense activities such as multi-player gaming and streaming 4K/8K video. With MU-MIMO, the broadcast device never interrupts its connection to the client to communicate with other client devices. MU-MIMO minimizes jittery video, freezes, and buffering, while also reducing network congestion and improving download speeds.

Wi-Fi 8: Why ultra-high reliability matters

MediaTek has collaborated with RCR Wireless  to discuss why ultra-high reliability (UHR) is the key technology that differentiates Wi-Fi 8, which is projected to begin certification in 2028. UHR is expected to become a major user experience upgrade as the number of devices in our homes, workplaces, and surrounding environments continues to grow, leading to an increasingly busy wireless landscape.

 “User experience is key,” stated James C Chen, Vice President of Product Technology and Marketing at MediaTek. “In this day and age of real-time and latency sensitive applications highlighted by more Agentic AI, responsiveness, reliability and always-on connectivity mean more than another 1 or 2 Gbps of speed increases. You can continuously increase the horsepower of an engine but if it can’t translate that speed to the ground, then its of limited use. That’s the focus of Wi-Fi 8, putting Wi-Fi to better use.”
