Where are Parental Controls on the AX4200 Orbi
I finally ditched my problematic Nighthawk R7000 and bought an Orbi AX4200 mesh system. I have it up an running but can't find a way to enable Parental Controls.

Hello North123,
Welcome to the Orbi Family! The RBK750 system currently does not support parental control features. However, we're working on getting parental control features to the RBK750 system soon! Stay tuned for further details!Regards,
Christian

First, AX4200 is not actually an Orbi model number. My guess is that you have a package including the RBR750 router (printed on the product label on the bottom of the router). This is just a guess,but I have the impression that this product does not include Parental Controls. Neither the product data sheet:

not the User Manual make any mention of Parental Controls

Whereas the product data sheet for the Original Orbi router, clearly advertises Parental Controls:

I seem to recall this topic coming up from time-to-time and the answer being, "coming soon". (After years of coming soon, this begins to look more like the play Waiting for Godot.) Forum members who participate in the Orbi AX forum may have personal experiences to relate:
