Hi Christian_R ,

 

Can you tell us more about when parental controls will be added to AX routers? I saw a post in January saying it was going to be coming soon, so I am feeling discouraged, and missing a feature that I need.

 

Thanks.

    This is a critical feature that's been missing for 12 + months -  Can we get an update on this?

      Christian_R  - can we please get an update on this?  I am considering moving off of the Orbi line altogether at this point as it appears as though other than the "stay tuned" posts you have made on every thread that is worried about lack of parental controls, there has been no real update or progress in the last 6 months.

       

      I would like to give the AX line a chance, but it isn't going to happen without Circle, and I don't have extremely long to wait before deciding what brand of mesh network I will be purchasing to replace my RBK50.
