SECURITY KEYWORDS BLOCKING not working as per manual
Good day, A bit frustrated these advertised features shown in manual for RBR750/RBS750 are not working. (unable to find drop-down model for reference but is WiFi mesh Kit RBK752, 1 router, 2 access ...
Hi, I have the exact same problem. I just purchased AX4200 Orbi Tri-band mesh wifi 6 system from Costco for $450 and used the keyword blocking feature but it is hit and miss. The sytem allows most block sites to go through. It is completely useless. I also tried setting up webcontent filtering using OpenDNS (it is free and it worked well with my TP-Link router) but it is not working on Orbi :p(. I am researching OpenDNS forum to figure out a way to get it to work on Netgear Router Orbi. Good luck
yea i got to agree.. for such a high priced item to not have a basic feature like for instance having access from my sons xbox turn off and on at a certain time is rediculous and really has me thinking of bringing mines back.. i mena you get that type of feature free on routers and mesh systems that are a fraction of the cost
Funny I just went into try domain/url blocking and while the feature is there I can't get it to work most of the time. I agree this is more then a bit disappointing. BUT not a huge big deal, instead of going back and forth with support over the next few days (and I'm NOT putting back anything related to Circle on my network. ARP spoofing causes more issues then it's worth) I just turned on Cloudflare Gateway on my CF account and in less then 5 mins viola! All my domain/url blocking rules in place on my entire network (blocked at the DNS level).
Glad thats working. Thank you for letting us know.
