How do I access parental controls or does this router have Smart Parental Controls?
The product data sheet for the R6900 mentions Disney Circle parental controls, which was what Netgear was offering until about two years ago when Netgear's own Smart Parental Controls (SPC) offering began rolling out. The User Guide is dated 2015. That is WAY prior to SPC.
My hunch is "not a chance" for SPC on the R6900. However, someone might notice if you post the question in the Nighthawk WiFi router forum: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/bd-p/home-wifi-routers-nighthawk
You could also try loading the Nighthawk 'app' and see if Parental Controls are featured in it.
