Issues after April 1 2021

Child phones suddently can't connect to internet after comming back home from Spring Break.

 

Until I figure out new openDNS config, I am trying to disable parental controls on R6250.

 

It shows "enabled" in dashbord but all menues redirect me rathen than let me turn off the feature.

Where in menu I turn it off.

  • btw - here is the change

     

    The Live Parental Control service based on OpenDNS will no longer be supported on Netgear devices as of December 31, 2021.

     

    Effective April 1st, 2021, Netgear will remove support for Live Parental Controls from the Netgear genie app and from updated versions of their firmware. Customers can continue to use OpenDNS for content and security filtering by directly setting up an account at https://www.opendns.com/home-internet-security.
