Block web sites not working on HTTPS Sites --> I'm returning my netgear ax11000
I just bought this router (AX11000) to block specific websites for a specific time for my whole household. I just found out that it is not possible to block websites as specified on https://kb.netge...

PS: you will find no consumer router that can block HTTPS on its own.
Thank you very much for your fast reply and suggested solutions. Sadly opendns and next dns can't be scheduled.
For example, I want to block youtube.com from 11 pm to 5 pm

Thanks a lot! This looks promising. I did not find this myself.
You saved my evening. I may even have to keep my netgear router because the router of my provider does not allow to change the dns server.
Have a nice evening.
Let us know how it turns out.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
https://kb.netgear.com/24231/How-do-I-back-up-the-router-configuration-settings-on-my-Nighthawk-routersmall Update: I configured nextdns and it allmost fullfills my usecase. Its not possible to block specific websites for a specific timeframe but you can block preconfigured ones (like youtube)
Downside is that nextnds only allows 300.000 request per month for free. This may be to few for a two person household.
I put the dns of nextdns into every device we use to avoid having two devices running for our network: cable modem and wifi router.
Sadly Vodafone support is aweful and was not able to anwer my request about changing the default dns server in the wifi-cable modem.
Thanks for your support and input.
