    Hi Hebby,

I have been trying to get parental controls to work for days. I set the default to High and nothing is blocked on any device. I have tried PC and iPhone genie app:

Router: R8000
Firmware V1.0.2.44
iPhone genie app version 2.4.24

Seems like there are no answers??? Please help. I hate to have to buy a new router
