RBR850 Firmware V4.6.9.11 schedule broken
After upgrading to V4.6.9.11 the schedule I have for blocking site for the kids is off by like 3 hours. I have validated the NTP setting and the date /time. I have a rule to start at 20:59 (8:59pm) ...

Frankly amazed that site blocking is working. When I experimented with the feature on the original Orbi, only sites accessed by http connection could be blocked. https sites were not. With 99% of the internet now using https, I founld site blocking to be essentially useless.
Further, my tests showed that the original Orbi required the block period to be within a single day. i.e.
- Blocking from 16:00 to 17:00 would work, but
- Blocking from 23:00 to 01:00 (or any time the next day) would not.
If the time difference was one hour, I could see Daylight Saving Time being involved. But if the time zone is set correctly and the Orbi displays the correct time, that is definitely something that someone with an 850 should be able to duplicate.
As stated above. the time zone and NTP is correct!
I would have added the graphic but only let me pick one. This was 100% working before the update.
time zone settings picture added.... the time shown in the UI matches the actual time.
Its a bug.....
