When you say resetting do you mean restoring to factory default and setting the router up again. What version of firmware are you using?
Thanks.

When is Netgear going to fix this?? I specifically bought this router for the parental controls and I have been trying to make this work for the last year? Come on guys...Let's come up with a solution here!!??

FYI...having a 15 digit password with OpenDNS does nothing as I have read in other threads. Just wanted to share that. I have been trying to make this work since 9/2016. I bought a Like New router off of Amazon from what I thought was an authorized reseller so I never received ANY support from Netgear. Big mistake on my part.

The only way to make it work again to me was to download the latest firmware. Reset the router and set it up manually again without loading any saved configuration.
This way I made it working and it still does.
