Time Schedule and Parental Controls
I am trying out the Nighthawk router and I am comparing its features to Linksys and Asus routers. The router has the latest firmware version. I have a few questions about using the Nighthawk router. ...
I agree that the parental controls are trash. Not what the description/feature-set were prior to purchase.
Setup an OpenDNS account for what... blocking phishing sites? Total BS.
Where are the controls on time of day, device or user?
The existing parental settings ARE GARBAGE and worthless.
I have said this time and time again. Today I will say it again, Netgear SUCKS. They are clueless when it comes to parental controls. They use OpenDNS for content filtering which they suck too. Don't waste your time and effort fixing OR looking at fixing something that you that is out of your control. Stop using their products. Depending on your budget, buy a Linksys, Asus or Synology router. Buy something other than Netgear products.
