RBR50 Not Tracking Usage

My orbi app is not currently tracking any usage for any devices nor is it allowing me to block any devices from accessing the network.  I have RBR50 + 1 satellite.

 

Please help

Hello Saundo,

 

Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!!!!

 

I understand that you are having difficulties with blocking devices using the Orbi app. 

 

To block the device using the Orbi app, navigate to the following starting from the home page:

  • Parental controls
  • Swipe right on the device
  • Then select pause

For more information about parental controls navigate to the link below:

Re: RBR50 Not Tracking Usage

Thanks Kevin.
I am aware of how to block devices in the app. My question said the app is not actually blocking the devices when I pause them nor is it tracking any usage when I know the devices are connected and being used. For example the attached account on my parental controls has multiple devices connected but does not show any usage

Hi Saundo,

 

I understand that your SPC app is not actively blocking devices.

Please check your PM.

Re: RBR50 Not Tracking Usage

Why do you guys do this? Why are you PMing people instead of posting the solution? I bought my Orbing about a week ago and now it is doing the same thing. It will block the devices for a couple days and then just stop. Whats up with that?
