C7000v2 seems unable to block sites
I am simply trying to find a free way to block youtube.com via my router.
Over genie, on the basic view, I have parental controls as "enabled." And on the advanced view security/blocked sites, I've added youtube.com. That does not seem to do anything even after restarting the computer and the browswers.
Over the Netgear Parental Controls, I have the default setting configured to moderate. Over the Account Setting/Block List Allow List, I have listed youtube.com as a blocked site. This does not work.
This router is not compatible with Circle Smart Parental Controls per this site: https://kb.netgear.com/000044718/Which-NETGEAR-routers-support-Circle-Smart-Parental-Controls. Of course, though some sites say this is free, I did download the app anyway and see that there is only a free trial.
The Smart Wizard app for parental controls is for older model modems.
Any recommendations for a free configuration would be extremely appreciated.
