BT Home Hub with Netgear Devices
I have tried quite a few times to correct this but cannot. Current System: BT Home Hub 3 used as modem and DCHP (not used for wireless). Connected to an unmanned NetGear Switch with network cabling...
You are in the wrong forum for this (you should be at forum1.netgear.com). This forum is specific to readynas products.
But to get you started, it sounds like you are using the WNDR3700 as switches and access points, not as routers. The parental controls only work if you are using them as a router - and you are not.
It is possible to double-route (put in one WNDR3700 between the home hub and all your other devices). Then you can put that WNDR3700 into router mode. Note this will change the address range of your home LAN. That is, if your BT router uses 192.168.1.x, the WNDR3700 would need to use something else (such as 10.0.0.x). If you are using DHCP, that would be taken care of automatically.
If you are using port forwarding in the Home Hub, you would need to adjust the port forwarding to go through two routers. That means change the rules in the home hub to forward to the WNDR3700, and then set up new rules in the WNDR3700 to forward those ports again to the devices.
