Block Services not allowing more than 1 IP
Trying to use the block services feature to block my kids devices at night so they cannot sit up on the internet all night. I can add one local IP to the block services table, but any others I try adding it will let me enter all the info but when I click add it just goes back to the device table with the first IP I entered as the only entry. When I try to add a service to block I do the following:
Click Add+ from the Block Services screen
Under Service Type I change this to ALL.
Under Filter Services For I select Only This IP Address and enter the IP I wish to add.
Click Add+
Why cant I add more than 1 IP to this? Netgear phone support will not assist unless I pay since I got the router free from my ISP 60 days ago. They tell me my ISP should be helping me with it. ISP has no clue and resorted to googling the same information I had already found on the Netgear site. How can I use the Block Services feature of this router for multiple devices?
Hi thesuffering,
What you can try is use a combination of features: Address reservation, Schedule, and Block Services.
First, you can do Address Reservation for your kids devices and set them on a range (i.e. 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.10). Steps are linked below.

Second, set a schedule (i.e. 22:00 to 06:00). Steps are linked below.

Third, set to block all services. Steps are linked below.

Hi thesuffering,
The router feature that we recommend that you look into instead is Access Control. The link below may help out.

I have a R6300v2. That option is not showing as available. I have the following options under security:
Block Sites
Block Services
Schedule
