URL FILTERING WITH WEBSITE CATEGORIES FOR WEBSITE BLOCKING
I would like to tell if i am buying such heavy router i expect it to be fully feature loaded. This router does not have URL filtering option due to which my bandwith usage by my users icreases heavily as they use unnecessary websites. Please add this feature in order to resolve the issue.

Only on the end-point you can (probably) filter and block unwanted URLs, but no longer in the data path (for decades...). Every interested four or five year old kid using secured (encrypted DNS) will bypass your useless DNS filter built on the plain text DNS queries. Welcome to the modern times.
PS. One of my favorite subjects, almost on pair with some uneducated users still requesting hidden SSIDs on wireless APs and routers.
