Parental Controls Nighthawk CAX80

Hello,   I just bought the Nighthawk CAX80 and I don't see parental controls.  What are my options?  This is crazy for the money I spent on this!

No parental controls at this time for the CAX80 you can look at a product by circle that gives your network parental controls.

Is there plans for the CAX80 to have parental controls?  I don't want to buy this device if a software upgrade will resolve.

    I bought it and starting to regret it. Nothing but crickets from Netgear regarding parental controls on this device.

      Yep...the router works well for me.  Shame they don't have the feature for the price.  I'm using Open DNS as a substiute.
