SPC - Pause does not work
I’ve bitten the bullet and resubscribed to SPC, the price was stupidly low, so, I thought I’d re-enable the basics that I need to complement the other parental controls I replaced SPC with a number of months ago.
But, I find that pausing devices doesn’t work. I’ve waited the suggested 24 hours since activating, rebooted everything, still nada. Pause a device, device still accessed t’internet.
Am defo on the latest FW and app versions.
I can’t raise a support case because, despite paying for a subscription product, only the Router is eligible for support, or, rather, not eligible as it’s out of the 90 day support period.
So, netgear can you advise, how do I go about getting support for a subscription based product that isn’t working?
Thanks
ETA - yes, I probably should have expected this, tbh..
Sorted with a factory reset. Bit annoying to need to reset, but, used the opportunity to revisit all my reserved IP ranges which were fine when I first set it up, but needed some tlc.

Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
