No Access Control on router R6300
Need to restrict my sons internet connection, Netgear Genie app and web login doesn't seem to have the "Access Control" feature. How can I restrict my sons internet connection?

How do you want to restrict access? What devices do you want to limit?
The R6300, an ageing (2012) and basic router that does offer Schedule Blocking. (Access control is something else.) Look for that in the manual:
Visit the support pages:

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
For anything more sophisticated you may have to replace your router with something more modern that supports a service like Circle.Which NETGEAR routers support Circle Smart Parental Controls? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
Circle needs a subscription.
Netgear used to provide free Parental Controls, which worked on your router, but Netgear has announced that it is killing the free Live Parental Controls. So don't get to rely on it.
