Scheduled Access Control
From reading posts going back for years across dozens of products, I have divined that Access Control in my new-but-now-discontinued Orbi router, specifically device access control on a schedule, is purposefully crippled in order to drive people to purchase a subscription to parental controls. It's such a simple feature that has been available in every non-ISP router I have ever had and I'm sorry to see such in a Netgear product.
Before I go the Parental Control subscription route, I would like to just confirm that scheduling access of devices, e.g., no access from 11:00pm - 7:00am, is not possible on my RBR850 router. Thanks for the info!
Hello Goose66_2,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!!
I understand that you would like to control the time specific devices can access your network. Device access control due to time is not available without SMART Parental Control.

You might get better help in the parental controls forum.

Thanks, but I am trying to get confirmation that this cannot be done in Access Control in the router BEFORE going to the Parental Control solution (which is an additional expense).
