    Duncan,

     

    From what I understand there is a new parental control option coming soon: Smart Parental Control | Block Sites | Internet Safety | NETGEAR

    On my RBK50 I used disney circle. Not available on the newer AX Orbi's.

     

    Currently you can turn off a devices access manually through the Orbi app or Web Gui.

     

    Not really relevant, but just an FYI... I use a Fingbox to control internet schedules for my kids. I'm hoping that the new Netgear parental controls will replace that functionality.

      thanks for the nod to the new software coming out Durpquad. 

       

      I'm not sure why all routers don't have parental controls as I've seen it in many routers in the past.
