XR700 last 2 Firmware the Scheduled Services not working

The last 2 Firmwares have the Schedule under Content Filtering not working. I have the same start and end time for it to block all services. Now to get it to work, each time I have to go to the Schedule and hit apply manually. This then triggers it to start blocking. Then to get it to quit blocking at 7AM, I then again have to go to the Schedule and hit apply manually again. I have always had it set to block all services at those scheduled times. I have 2 of these XR700 Routers and they both got brokend with these same Firmware updates. With all versions including 1.0.1.34 and older it always worked. Since it quit working with  1.0.1.36, that's when they messed it up. I have requested this be fixed a few times before and sitll it's not fixed. I just tested the latest 1.0.1.38 and its broke just like 1.0.1.36. I need this fixed as there have been Security fixes with these 2 latest Firmware. I don't want to use 1.0.1.34 because it is too far behind on Security. I need to know when this will get fixed for sure. They should know what area that broke this so it should be a quick and easy fix. I would think even a patch should be able to fix this.

  • That's down to NG, I'll send them a reminder email on this. You can use the Traffic Controller feature on the beta as it is better in my opinion and it works.

      Hello, I know the Dumos Beta Traffice Controller works, but it's 2 Security Firmwares behind. I have 2 of these Routers so I need Netgear to figure our what they did with the 1.0.1.36 Firmware that broke the Scheduling to where I have to manually go to the Schedule each time to hit apply to get it working. It's still broken with 1.0.1.38. This should be a easy fix even with just a patch. I spent too much Money on 2 of these to not work as advertised.
