Orbi Parental Controls (Device Schedules)
Does Netgear plan to implement Parental Controls on the Orbi like some of their competitors where you can set schedules to specific devices that disables the internet at specified times?
I had a typo on my previous post.
I just bought an Orbi as well and can NOT seem to set internet restrictions schedule on specific devices.

Hello seanyoung
if you want control of each specific device you will have to download the 2.1 orbi firmware and load it onto your system and use the Disney circle parental controls.

The Orbi is one of the most expensive routers on the market, albeit with high-end functionality. Unfortunately, however, with the introduction of the firmware v 2.1.1.12, parental controls beyond basic filtering cost an additional $4.99 per month via Disney Circle Even as I write this, I cannot believe that Netgear is expecting its customers to pay for functionality that other manufacturers include as standard.
- But Disney circle is not free. It cost $60 annually for premium features. This makes this router horribly expensive.
