RAX45 — Nighthawk AX6 6-Stream AX4300 WiFi Router - Parental Controls
Hi, I purchased the RAX-45 router with an understanding that it will support some good parental controls, through the Nighthawk app as advertised under the below link. The link does not outline it v...
The RAX devices have been getting services added to them the older they get.
When they were released, the AX spec wasn't even finalized. So they focused on getting the devices up and running properly and then added services/features.
For instance, the RAX200 (flagship router), just got the rollout of netgear armor and circle/parental controls on June 8th.
I'd imagine these features are going to trickle down the chain but netgear doesn't release dates because to many things influence when they're released. Such as bugs, social issues (covid), and even firmware from the hardware makers (broadcom, qualcomm, etc)
August 1st.... anything for parental control?? If not, I'm returning it. I got this router to remedy control over my kids over using the internet. Parental controls should be standard, like before. Please advise how to get this function for such a pricey router.
Received a firmware upgarde today and was very hopeful but unfortunately even with the new firmware upgrade there is no support for parental controls in nighthawk app or circle.
Quite disappointed with the router because of not having the parental control feature. I am also noticing that range also is not so great. It's advertised for more than what it offers.
Same here. This is critical to me as I have kids surfing internet. Router level parental control is essential in this situation. Don't understand why it is so difficult to implement it, espcially for openDNS live parental control.
I am facing same issue. Please help me to get parental controls for Nighthawk RA~X45 ASAP. i can't even return my return is crossed:smileysad:
No Parental control, I will return it too.
