Parental control not working

you need to download the netgear genie software for pc or mac.
install it.
from inside this app you need to register on open dns.
user name must be any name not email id
password must be like this Agtekis7,
give ur email id
click register.
then log in in the same app.
it checks if the netgear router has got the parental control software, if yes it asks you to click to enable it, when it enables it sets the DNS nos on its own.
else it says router not compatible.
so later everytime you click parental controls, it opens the open dns page for blocking settings
Parental controls not working for me either. I hope there's a fix otherwise this is just a wasted feature.
Hi,
Kindly let me know if i can be of any help to set it up for you,
you will need to be on Team viewer for me to do a remote setup.
Thankyou,
Ashfaq
