Did you double-check that the time zone is correct? Most Netgear routers default to Pacific time.

Thanks for the info. (I should have looked that up.) Hmmmm. I just set up this schedule on my ancient Orbi router:
Hit "Apply" and it took. My (very dim) memory of when I tried this YEARS ago was that the "off time" had to be in the same 24 hour period as the "on time" and midnight was "yesterday".
But. it's pretty clear that my router and yours may be very different (and my memory not all that useful). What IS pretty clear is that MY router requires Start of Blocking to come BEFORE End of Blocking.
