NH 6700 Genie Parental Controls can't verify Router Firmware

Hello.

I was trying to set up LPC on my network. Previosly I had been using Open DNS.

I set up the LPC's as instructed but now when I go to turn LPC's on in the router I get stuck at a screen that says

Checking router firmware

We're making sure you have firmware that supports Live Parental Controls.

You don't appear to be connected to the internet. Please connect to the internet through your NETGEAR router and try again.

When I hit "Try again" it reverts back to the message above

Important to note

I do have internet access through the router  (wired and WiFi).

I did reset the router to factory defaults already

Current Firmware Version - V1.0.1.16_10.0.30 

The only other function that has stopped working is the Network Map in Genie. If I log into the router throug the web the network map is working. 

I can access and change all other settings

Any and all help is appreciated.
