Nighthawk X10 AD7200 Smart WiFi Router Parental Controls
There is no parental controls on the nighthawk app. Whn i log into the router on my PC it says parental controls is NOT ENABLED. When i click parental controls it takes me to a netgear ad for netgear...
security controls are not the same as parental controls
OpenDNS + R9000 = zero parental controls
Was told that the R9000 only had support for OPENDNS on the router however that service thru NG was discontinued last Dec 2021.
However, I was also told that you could go to the OpenDNS site and setup an account there, then input OpenDNS dns addresses into the routers Internet/Use these DNS addresses here and the router will filter all items thru OpenDNS's services that way.

They even explain how to go about it,
How to Enable/Disable Live Parental Controls – OpenDNS
very first sentence in the link you send:
"once your Netgear device has been registered with OpenDNS, you will be able to manage your setting in the parental control section of the Netgear Genie.
Problem is that Netgear Genie no longer has a "Parental Control" section as it has been disabled
you can still use OpenDNS with Netgear, but there are no parental controls other than very basic filtering, and if you use that filtering it is the same for everyone using the router, so it does not really provide function for addressing the needs of younger people vs adults both using the same router
