The RAX200 got parental controls in june 2020,
I haven't seen the RAX120 get them yet.
the RAX80 was back in may 2020 getting it.

Can't seem to get opendns to work either (would prefer to just control it through the router though like I could with my old CenturyLink modem and not open dns, but if I could get that to work it would at least be something)

NETGEAR - IT IS AN ABSOUTE SHAME TO SHIP ROUTER WITOUT PARENTAL CONTROL. IT IS LIKE SHIPPING A CAR WITHOUT AIR BAG! WHAT A SHAME.
