few day ago i kind of too busy so i didnt show you how i fix that problem.
the way I fix is simple, (note: i didn't do any step you told me) I just use the paperclip to reset the router to default setting by the small hole on the back of the router and hold for 7s or 10s, and that it i fix it (note: before the problem hapend i didn't change any setting in the router)
Your solution does work, but it's only temporary - the problem returns after you try to access parental controls, etc. The problem also resolves temporarily whenver you reboot the router.
