Non Circle parental control setup/application
Hello,
I just became happy owner of Orbi system with one satelite.
From network perspective I cannot say a sigle bad word on that, maybe only that setup page looks a bit ... easy.
However I have issue with parental control setup.
I know I can pay 5$/mount for Circle but that is was not my intention to pay rather not small money for a router and make additional payments for parental control.
Is there any possibility to setup internet access time limits?
I mean schedules for particular day times that internet can be accessed + daily times on PC?
I would not want to get rid of good network device due to configuration limitations
In advance thanks for your assistance.
Adam

Hi Adam, welcome to the community and glad that you are happy with your Orbi system! You can try a combination of features that may help out. The links below also apply to the Orbi system.
What you can try is use a combination of features: Address reservation, Schedule, and Block Services.
First, you can do Address Reservation for your kids devices and set them on a range (i.e. 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.10). Steps are linked below.

Second, set a schedule (i.e. 22:00 to 06:00). Steps are linked below.

Third, set to block all services. Steps are linked below.
