XR1000 Adblock Issues

Question

Hi Everyone,&nbsp;&nbsp;I have been trying to get the Adblocker working on my XR1000 today and to no avail.&nbsp;&nbsp;I've read Netgear KB on using the link to the default list but this doesn't block any ads on any of my devices.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have tried using other lists I could find as well which also didn't work, which makes me think the feature might not be working properly.&nbsp;&nbsp;I would love to use Adblock at my router level but at this moment doesn't seem to be working.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks,&nbsp;Brad.&nbsp;

YouTube Ads won't be blocked as they're served from the same URL I believe as the video so if you blocked them you'd also block the video. The latter is normal, when you search in Google you'll see the ads but they're also legitimate search results so that's why they show but then the link behind it is blocked.When you upgraded to the latest firmware did you do a factory reset afterwards?

Those will have been browser based Adblockers which would have been able to block more easily, when it's based on the network it is harder - it's very much something we're still working on and really want to find a workaround for. That's what I mean, the ad is served from the same domain as the video.When you used other lists like easylist did you add it in the same way, as an online list? Also try downloading our file and then uploading it to the router and adding it that way

Could you provide a screenshot of your Adblocker page please so we can take a look? Are you using Armor?

Hi,&nbsp;&nbsp;Please see screenshot below,&nbsp;&nbsp;I've been testing and it looks like it does block traffic, but for some reason I'm still seeing all the ads.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks!&nbsp;

Could you provide some examples of places where you're noticing the ads? Are you using Armor?
