rbr50 does not adhere to the schedule
I have the latest firmware installed 2.7.2.104 on the router and the rbs50 satellite but despite the router time being correct it does not have a schedule function that works at all. In fact right now it is set off yet here I am. I dont understand it at all, Ive followed some of the forum advice to check time etc but all seems good.
Help would be appreciated.

The schedule applies to entries for block sites and block services. Orbi has no mechanism to disable the router itself or the WiFi function. Can you post screen shots of those two pages?
If the goal is to prevent any internet activity during a certain period, I believe block services "all" for every possible IP address will do that.
That is,both TCP/UDP for ports 1-65,535 for IP's 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.254
I (personally) believe there is a bug in the schedule logic that forces the block period to be entirely within one 24 hour period. That is, a block could run from 10:00 to 1100, but cannot run from 23:00 to 1:00. Since there is only one schedule.this limits how it can be used.

Is the NTP time services set correctly and is DST enabled or disabled?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
All fixed I did a test with all ip addresses blocked as per the schedule and it works. That should stop my kids staying up late.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

I saved the settings then reset and the same thing happens so I think you are right, possibly buggy. I will look at the schedule and the ip or service blocking as alternatives.
