Parental Control
Is there an option to set parental control for specific devices or each connected devices on the network for time scheduling and website blocking? Looks like if you set the time scheduling and website blocking it will be for all devices connected on your network

No - there is no way to do it at a router level like you can with Linksys, etc. Netgear forces you to download the Disney Circle app, which will then want to be added to all devices on your network, such as cell phones, etc., so that you can monitor each individually. It has me looking to other options of mesh routers as I have never wanted to download or pay for the Circle app.

Thanks for the info. Netgear should have just stick to the parental control they have on their other routers. It's also forcing you to use google pay to sign up on this Disney Circle app and it looks like it does not have a website where you can subscribe.Netgear please fix this
