While I am confident that Netgear is aware of the issue and that a fix is in the "to do list", my guess is the first anyone will know of a fix is when it happens. Netgear is not in the habit of sharing the progress of development work. I would be encouraged to see a note that Netgear has reproduced the problem in the lab.
The A Plus solution would be for you guys to wake up one morning soon and find, "it's fixed. Magic!" Configuration intact. App access restored. Until then, your kids are doing whatever they want on the Internet and there's nothing you can do about it.
It is also a bit distressing to see conflicting reports on web access in posts about this topic. One message seemed to indicate that the regular (http: port 80) interface did not respond, but that the https (443) port did and once the web browser was told to ignore the self-signed SSL certificate, he was "in business again."
None of the common HTTP ports are open from what I can tell:
