Nighthawk RAX200 Smart Parent Control not fully working
I have changed router from R7000 to RAX200. In my old R7000 parent controls with Circle 1st generation app worked perfectly: I could pause whole profiles, blocked some specific applications, add time limits, etc.
Now with RAX200 I am having troubles SETTING APPLICATIONS AS NOT ALLOWED (e.g YouTube, Netflix). I believe that the setup is somehow correct as I am actually able to Pause the specific profile, where all the assigned devices cannot access the internet. I do not have any other filtering (except Adult filter), bedtime, time limits on the profile. As a troubleshoot measure I have created new profiles and validate all the devices Mac addresses, I have also dissable private address on Iphone devices, to avoid having new devices created every day.
I saw in another Netgear chat that Wireless Access Mode could be an issue, so in my case I have Router Mode setup. This was actually the first issue I encountered after RAX200 was recently added to Circle on Netgear router list. I have also read that other routers parent control have had issues with IPv6, but in my case I have my router the IPv6 is dissable.
Is there a special router setup or solution to this issue? Or is there a bug in the RAX200 model.
