Parental controls on RBR850
Hi,

Hi , thank you for reaching out. The reason why Parental Control is not available yet in Orbi 6 is because we will be releasing our own Parental control. You may check the link below:

Thanks for letting us know.
Regarding Parental Controls on Orbi 7 and 8 series systems:
- Seems ridiculous it’s taking Netgear this long to get foundational parental controls on its best high speed mesh system. Frankly it’s like giving the keys to the a Ferrari to your 12 year old kid. I’m love the connectivity but I’m so disappointed in a year of the pandemic to not have had strong parental controls. Based on the packaging when I purchased the RBR it certainly appeared they had parental control options, I’m now considering abandoning the router for an alternative as Netgear can’t get it together.
I am very disappointed with how Netgear is handling there product support. In Canada I paid approx $900 for the router and the 1 satellite.. The performance is good, but there is NO parental controlls. When I called support they told me to return it if I didnt like it.. I would if I could but it is past the 30days and Amazon will no longer support the return of the product and there is no way I am going to buy another router one.
Which Orbi model do you have? 7 or 8 series.
NG said PC is forth coming to Orbi AX.

Also disapointed in the lack of PC on the 850. Had ther RBR50 for years, died last saturday, Had to make a call on the replacement without being able to do much research. Had like the RBR50 so I ponied up and payed the rediculus price for the 850. I am so disapointed.
