I have an Orbi RBR50. I just purchased parental controls. Not Circle parental control but the Netgear parental control feature from the Orbi app. For a child profile, I have youtube.com filtered so my kid can't use it. I would like to enable access to youtube from 3-4pm daily. How do I do that?

Oh, my. The last time I checked Netgear had not set up a community forum for their new Parental Controls product.Maybe the mechanism is similar to Disney Circle?You might try posting in the Circle forum anyway: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Circle-Smart-Parental-Controls/bd-p/en-home-circle

Netgear told me I have to downgrade my router firmware, so that I get access to Circle and then apparently my problems will be fixed. This sounds absurd.

What version of FW are you using?

I'm currently on the latest, 2.7.2.104. I was advised to drop down to 2.7.0.70

Ya Circle isn't on v104. I don't think Circle was on v70 as well. Someone reported v4 stil has Circle. Either try that version or v16.
