Orbi WiFi System Parental Controls NOT Persistent
I purchased my Orbi system several months back and haven't had any issues until recently. The two issues I am having are with.
1. Airprint
2. Parental Controls.
Firmware version installed: 1.8.0.6
Both Airprint and Parental Controls are NOT persistent.
Airprint
Airprint is enabled for my printer within Netgear Genie (Desktop version); however when I try to Airprint from my iPhone, I receive a message stating "No Airprint Printers Found. I have to reboot the Orbi system in order for it to work. After a period of time, I have to repeat these steps to get it to work. Not persistent!!
Parental Controls
I'm having the same issues with Parental Controls as I am with Airprint. I have certain devices with their FILTER level set to "None"; however when I try to use a VPN service or something else that the "default"level of Parental Controls would block, it's blocked. The only fix is to reboot the Orbi and then after a period of time, I am right back to where I was at before, reuiring a reboot of the Orbi.
I'm thinking about re-applying, if possible, the v1.8.0.6 firmware but wanted to check to see if nyone else was experiencing the same or similar issues?
Thanks!
