Orbi parental control

Hello,
When I bought my Orbi 2 last year I registered to the parental control service to test and I stop the subscription. Now I want to reactivate to have a better control of the internet for my children, but it seem impossible to do on the app. What can I do?

Thank you

    The web interface on my Orbi has a menu item, Parental Controls, which has a button to upgrade to the new Smart Parental Controls.

    Can you check your web interface?

        (sorry, I was distracted by my  local baseball team losing... again!)

         

        The user manual for every Netgear product is available at the support web site:

        https://www.netgear.com/support/ 

         

        Enter the product number from the product label on the bottom of the router. (such as RBR750) and click on Documentation.

         

        Generally speaking, all routers are the same:

        • Open a web browser and enter http://orbilogin.net
        • Enter the router user name (which is always "admin") and the router password, which should have been set when the system was set up.  (brand new, every Orbi has a password of "password", and users are encouraged to change it.)
        • This brings up the management interface in the web browser.
