ORBI Mesh RBR760 CPU Usage due to Parental Controls
Hello,
When I activate my subscribed and paid for Parental Controls the CPU of the RBR760 goes up to 90 to 100% CPU usage constantly and never returns to normal values. When I switch it off it return to 20% to 30% usage.
What can I do besides turn it off? I need the Parental controls and paid for them as well.
Firmware is up to date and settings are default, beside ipv6 and upnp are on. This does not impact CPU usage badly though.
Hope all is clear, willing to provide additional information.
Please move my topic to the appropriate section if needed.

Does this affect your internet connection in some way?
Try also here:
Yes, dns request are slow and internet feels sluggish. I got 1 GB down so I notice it fast.
Beside that, CPU at 100% all the time ain't good. And the clear cause is Parental control.
I also use Netgear Armor, this takes appr. 10% of CPU long term.
For now I disabled both and router is now at around 20% CPU usage.
