Suggestion on Features

I want Netgear to add some features to this router. If the feature does exist, please improve the feature to make it better.  First off, I am not a big fan of OpenDNS.  I should not be forced to use OpenDNS if I don't want to. I already know I can disable Live Parental Controls on this router.  I would prefer to do the managing on the router itself and not use OpenDNS. I believe that home routers should include basic features which includes block sites and set a time schedule. 

The features that I would like Netgear to add to this router if it doesn't exist already. 

1. OpenDNS- Give the user a choice to use this 3rd party company to filtering content OR let the user set controls on the router itself.

2. Block Sites- Give the user the ability to block by URL and Keyword. I know this feature does exist on the router but if you are using OpenDNS, what is the point of the feature. Again, give the user a choice to block sites on the router WITHOUT using OpenDNS. 

3. Time Schedule- Give the user the ability to set a time schedule PER hour PER device on the router itself. This feature doesn't seem to exist on this router.  A user should not have to completely turn off the wireless radios as means to control the time schedule. Everyone knows that if you pause a Youtube video AFTER the wireless radio is OFF, the video will continue to play and still gives the user the ability to search other videos. Again, I know you can set time blocks in OpenDNS to control the filtering level. That is not the same as blocking internet access to a wireless device.

4. Traffic Analyzer/Web History- This feature is included in the Asus routers.  Netgear does have Dynamic QoS but the link to view bandwidth by device or application is buried. To view the bandwidth, it should be a separate tab under Dynamic QoS and give it another name. This feature should be very accessible to users. Also, I know Netgear has a log to view device activity.  It is very weak and doesn't include everything. This log should be improved to include everything such as sites that are allowed and blocked. A user should be able to view the log by device as well. 

5. Netgear Genie- This app needs improvement. Linksys and Asus both of apps for there routers as well. There apps are not bad but they are better than the Genie. The Genie is not bad but it lacks features to help manage your network from inside/outside the home.  There is no "bypass login" to allow a user to have access to something that otherwise is blocked. Since the Genie is on my phone, I should not have to login to the Genie EVERYTIME to view the network map. It is soo tedious to login to Genie on my phone everytime. 

The Netgear router is good and fast but there is need for improvement. For the dollar amount that you are spending on this router, Netgear can make it better.  The above features are suggestions to make the router better and not everyone will agree. Perhaps I share the same wish list as the next person.
