RBR750 blocking Minecraft servers for Android
I've had my ups and downs with this router, but usually I'm able to sort it out. This one's a head-scratcher, though. In trying to help my son troubleshoot a Minecraft issue, I installed the app ...

Parental controls seems to be the culprit. Thank you! It took a minute to figure out where the toggle to disable parental controls is located, but at least it's an option.
What I don't get is why parental controls are getting in the way at all, especially on my phone, which is part of the default "Home" group and has no controls/limits/etc. turned on. I even tried adding it to the Always On group, but no dice. The only way I've found for Minecraft on Android to work properly is to disable the parental controls.
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. Any tips on how to keep controls enabled but also allow Minecraft to work?
I don't other than disabling SPC while using that game.
I wish there was some more granular features to the SPC app in Orbi app however it's mostly controlling what connects, can connect and at certain time frames. Seems to be all or nothing with no "hey, allow these certain" domains and such kind of configuration. Would be more helpful in these cases.
You might ask NG support and see if they can help any futher if thats an option.
