Orbi WiFi 6 no parental controls
So I am really surprised and honestly upset that the new WiFi 6 orbi does not have any parental controls whatsoever even though the website clearly states that it does. Is this a short sided mistake t...
You may want to look in to this as an alternative solution in mean time:
Thanks for that. However, is there a timeline for parental controls on the Orbi 6? My current Orbi supports Circle, and I hoped that the new Orbi did as well. The website says the new Orbi supports parental controls so I expected that to be true.
If I have a timeline to look to maybe I will not return it. But if not then I will keep my current setup and return the new one with some amount of prejudice.
NG doesn't make known of any timelines, if or when new features are forthcoming to Orib systems. Thus we don't have any information regarding this.
There is Accessl Controls for now for Orbi AX.
Access control and parental controls are NOT the same thing. Access control only allows you to allow or block access. Parental controls allow you to define reasonable controls over specific devices such as content and scheduled access to the network. Not at all the same thing.
Something to contact NG support about.
