How can I use parental controls an Orbi without purchasing a subscription
I just purchased an Orbi today and it seems like it's not possible to setup an internet scheduler per device without paying a subscription on top of all the money I just spent. Is that correct?
The Orbi manual implies that you can also use the free parental controls system through OpenDNS.
There is support for the Orbi WiFi System, including a manual, somewhere at the end of this link:

Ignore the model number, it is a generic manual for all Orbis.
See the section Set Up Parental Controls.
The manual maintains that you can use the Netgear genie app to control this on a mobile. Recent changes may mean that you actually have to do this on a PC.
