Parental Controls on C7800 DO NOT WORK - DO NOT BUY THIS CABLE MODEM!!!
Hi - as noted in a different post, the Parental Controls on the C7800 Router DO NOT WORK - they try to send you to the "Circle" app which is unsupported. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!! Posting t...
vkdelta it looks like the C7800 firmware was prematurely changed away from OpenDNS / Netgear Live Parental Control to Circle. Can't get rid that left hand does not know what the right hand is doing.
There are other router models, like the R9000 which is still "stuck" with LPC (luckily no Circle!) - however some not-so-smart product manages decided that only the Netgear App can be used - the previous Genie App refuses to work with these routers, thus the Bypass Login for LPC isn't possible.
Can the community management ChristineT bring this to the top management attention? Just ridiculous on how Netgear does fail to properly maintain the features in the consumer BU.
