What's the proper way to set up Scheduled Blocking of services?

I have been struggling since getting this router weeks ago to get it to properly block services during a specific time to a specific LAN IP address.

I have successfully mapped the right Mac address to the IP I want:  192.168.1.120.

I have gone into the "Block Services" and chosen "block per schedule" for this IP.

I have set the NTP server for my time zone (this was the issue last time I had with a R7000 router, a vital step I shan't forget again!)

I have set the schedule to block from 20:00 to 15:00 every day.

I have applied and restarted the router and the 192.168.1.120 machine.

Yet I am staring at this computer merrily able to access any services I want well after 8pm.  I can see it's exactly as described above.  What step am I missing here?  Any help would be fantastic.  (I'm trying to update the firmware, too, in hopes that helps.)

Thank you in advance.

Re: What's the proper way to set up Scheduled Blocking of services?

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the NightHawk Router products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with NH router products and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Thank you, I didn't know that was there -- have reposted in that forum.  If there's a way to delete this thread, I'm fine with removing it.  Have a good day!
