Hi,
I have been looking into possible solutions to automatically block internet access to kids computer and iPAD each night around 9PM. I have an ORBI and have Genie installed. Looks like the only way to do it is to go through parent control and use bypass account. It's just too much hassle for me as I have about 20 devices connected to ORBI and I don't want to spend a whole day just doing that.
Is this some feature that would be possible at all with Netgear? I am still in my returning window and if there's no other option of making it happen, I may just have to jump ship to Velop or Eero.
thanks!
If you want to disable to all the devices at one time and they are wifi based you could turn off the the routers wifi at the time you want and back on when you want. Every router is going have to be set up to block the devices you want no matter who makes it.

From what I've heard so far, most other comparable products offer something that allows users to shut down Internet services to selected device at specific time. Why isn't that something Netgear invested in? For the folks with teens, it is more important than the speed.

I know that they have parental controls with filtering levels but why wouldn't they add a feature that completely blocks Internet access entirely? FYI...I just returned the Velop mesh network system because even though they DO support this feature, even after working with their tech-support for over 10 hours we were never able to get it successfully working for more than just one day. If you do decide to get the Velop, I would suggest that you research this before you purchase it.
