- I just bought an Orbi as well and can seem to set internet restrictions schedule on specific devices.
I had ASUS, Linksys Routes prior and had no issues with their software with settings internet schedule restrictions.
Where is this feature settings on the Orbi?
I can not find it under access control under Orbi!
I can not find it under Orbi Genie Parental control!
I can not find it under OpenDNS !
