Parental Controls Issue

Hello,

 

Trying to set up parental controls.I have the app on my phone but was informed by customer service that I would need to access the parental controls from a PC to change the names of devices and set up specific schedules for my children. The below instructions are in the user manual for my router however when I try to login to http://www.routerlogin.net. as instructed the default user name and password do not work. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

 

Thanks.

Set Up Parental Controls
The first time that you select Parental Controls from the BASIC Home page, your browser goes to the
Parental Controls website, where you can learn more about Parental Controls and download the application.
After you set up and enable Parental Controls, you can change the web filtering level for each device on
the network through the network map page on the genie app.
To set up Parental Controls:
1. Launch a web browser from a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select Parental Controls.
The Parental Controls website displays.
5. Click the button for the app or version that you want to download and use.
6. Follow the onscreen instructions to download and install the genie app.
7. Open the genie app and select Parental Controls.
After installation, Parental Controls automatically starts.
8. Click the Next button, read the note, and click the Next button again.
Because Parental Controls uses free OpenDNS accounts, you are prompted to log in or create a free
account.
9. Select a radio button as follows:
• If you already own an OpenDNS account, leave the Yes radio button selected.
• If you do not own an OpenDNS account, select the No radio button.
If you are creating an account, the Create a free OpenDNS account page displays. Do the following:
a. Complete the fields.
b. Click the Next button.
After you log on or create your account, the filtering level page displays.
10. Select a filtering level and click the Next button.
The Setup is complete page displays.
11. Click the Take me to the status screen button.
The Status page displays. Parental controls are now set up for the router.
12. To enable Parental Controls, click the Enable Live Parental Controls butto

    I do not understand the problem. You've posted the instructions. Do they work?

     

    If not, where does it go wrong for you?

     

    Can you set things up here?

    Looks like free Parental Controls are on their way out.
