MR60 Netgear Smart Parental Controls

I have the MR60 / MS60 mesh network, works great. Trying to get Netgear Smart Parental Controls going, I've read the old posts stating that parental controls were not yet available on the MR60. However, there are Netgear article's at

https://kb.netgear.com/000062109/How-do-I-set-up-and-install-NETGEAR-Smart-Parental-Controls?article=000062109

 

1. Launch the Orbi app or Nighthawk app.

2. Tap the Parental Controls tile.

The parental controls tile in Nighthawk that's referenced in the above article is not displayed in my Nighthawk app. I've made sure I'm running latests firmware, V1.0.6.116_2.0.54 and my Nighthawk app is up to date.

 

Per: https://kb.netgear.com/000044718/Which-NETGEAR-routers-support-Circle-Smart-Parental-Controls

The MR60 doesn't support Circle so the instructions online related to MR60 and Circle aren't accurate.

 

Has anyone got Netgear Smart Parental Controls working on the MR60?

 

Thanks.
