You are correct! After I downgraded to FW version V1.0.0.56_1.0.18, things are working again. I hope that Netgear takes note of this and fixes this in the next version of the FW.

Hello Can you please tell me how you installed the new version. It comes in a zip file. i have a R7300 Netgear and after istalling the latest version, the Parental Control quit working. i have a preteen kid at home who is pretty savy and I need to have web access under control. Please help with the procedure.

By "new" do you mean "older"? If you extract the files from the zip archive, then you should get a ".chk" file which is the firmware file, and an "XXX_Release_Notes.html" file which should include installation instructions.

thanks for the reply. No the firmware was installed within the genie app/window. It prompted me to update the firmware, so I did and then the parental control quit working. The kid did not mess with my computer.
Thank You very much. downloading is not a problem installing is. Should I go through the Netgear website to install it? It was not letting me install after I unzip the file and hit upload. It would say it was reset.

My point was that if the kid is more "sav[v]y", then he might have more success with the firmware update.
> [...] downloading is not a problem installing is.
And the problem is?

What, exactly, does "the Netgear website" mean to you? As usual, showing actual actions with their actual results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations. Copy+paste is your friend.

What, exactly, did you get when you "unzip the file"? What, exactly, are you trying to "upload"? "hit upload" where, exactly? What, exactly, would say what, exactly?
You should try installing by visiting routerlogin.net website on your browser (default username and password are: admin, password respectively). And then click on:
ADVANCED>Administration.
Click Firmware UpdateorRouter Update and then choose the FW file location.
Thank You Sir. I followed the instructions, downloaded the previous version of Firmware (V1.o.0.56.1.0.18) and then in the genie I enabled the parental control and it started working. Thank You so much for your guidance and help. I really appreciate it.
