Nighthawk time is stuck
All the history is writing out for Tuesday at 6:23pm - almost 2 days ago. Also the parent controls are not applying. Was there a bad firmware update recently?
- The reboot sequence suggested did not fix it. I ended up cancelling parent controls, factory reset, and then enabling parent controls. Got back full functionality after that.

Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.- NnennaAspirantThe reboot sequence suggested did not fix it. I ended up cancelling parent controls, factory reset, and then enabling parent controls. Got back full functionality after that.

Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
