Thanks Dexter, 

Are you saying that the WNDR3700v2 DOES SUPPORT individual device settings?

 

Because, if it does, I will try reflashing the firmware (although I think it is a few years since the firmware release was updated, and I already have this version anyway.)

 

If it doesn't support it, then re-flashing won't change anything and I think I will have to buy a newer router?

 

Thanks,

Justin.

    Hi @jlowe73,

     

    I apologize since the version 2 (v2) does not support that feature since it does not have the Genie UI. I would recommend getting the newer routers instead if you are looking to get the Parental Controls feature.

     

    Regards,
