Parental Controls missing on RBR850
I have seen other threads on this but I thought by now the features of Parental Controls will be available via Circle. I live in the UK and just installed my new ORBI AX6000 system today with 2 satell...

I see that there is a new firmare for RBK850 to enable parental control. The firmware is v4.6.3.9.
I downloaded this firmware and installed it. The only "nasty" issue I see with this firmware is that wired satellites don't work. :)
Otherwise all is so far so good.

Just curious, are you able to downgrade back to v3 by chance?
So ethernet ports on RBS become non functional after they were updated? Did you factory reset the RBS after the FW update?

No, The satellites are ok to downgrade to v3, but I could not downgrade the router to v3.

Ok the downgrade of the RBR is a known. Same thing for 7 series as well.

No, Ethernet ports are ok.
The problem is in the Router that can't recognize the wired satellites. Wired satellites can be added, but after restart they get permanently disconnected.
Factory resetting the satellites did not help.
