Hi FURRYe38,

 

Thank you for the information.  

 

Having reviewed the Specs, I am of the view that the Orbi WiFi 6 RK853 would be my preferred option.

 

I do have a follow up query

 

The link to the app you sent, returns a Node not Found message.  I have pasted the link belelow

For any Orbi app questions, help and information, please post in the Orbi app forum:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-App/bd-p/en-home-orbi-ap

Is there an alternative link?

 

To reitherate, my query which is does the updated Orbi App provide parental controls?

 

Thank you

        Hi FURRYe38,

        Would you know if I can use Orbi RBK 853 with my ISP Router, by just turning the WiFI Radio off [i.e. do not switch the ISP Router into Modem Mode}.  Would this work and are there ny drawbacks with this approach?

         

        Thank you for yiour help and patience.
