Orbi WiFi6 RBR750 Pause Devices DOES NOT WORK - firmware V4.6.5.14

The pause/resume device capability of My Orbi Wifi6 RBR650 Router DOES NOT WORK. I really need this capability for my kids and I spent a ton of money on this router for this kind of functionality. I see other folks have had this problem. I login to the router via my phone and have tried this on multiple devices to no effect.

  • What is happening when you are trying to pause a device?

     

    Has a IP address reservation been setup for the devices that need to be controlled ON the router? Under Basic Tab/Setup/LAN Setup?

      What happens is that those devices can still accecss the internet despite me pausing them. Are you telling me all of those devices need a static IP in order for pause/resume to work?

       

      • I said "IP address reservation" which needs to be set ON the router. Static IP addresses are set ON devices.
