r7000 has WAN connectivity issues due to parental controls. How to fix?

I decided to give the parental controls a go, and that was a bad idea.  After using the app on my phone to set this up, all wireless network access to the internet is blocked.  How can I remove this?...

    Actually no. With parental controls on, it locked out my DNS from being modified. Hence my issue.

    I actually gave in and did a backup, factory reset, reprogram, backup. I will give it a stab again when time permits. But in the end I will likely be purchasing a Soekris or something of the sort to roll up my own firewall/NAT/AP so I no longer need to worry about this.
