Parental Controls not working

Hi, I am trying to setup parental controls, but I get an error message when connecting to OpenDNS. My account works fine on opendns.com, anyone knows what to do? I am using firmware V1.3.0.10...

Just disable it. It's just a feature that enabled the Guest Network portion of the routers wifi is all. Turns OFF this radio portion of the router.

Thanks Dex.,
I finally ended up getting the filter level set for my family. I ended up logging into open dns website on my laptop. Added my network. Then I logged on with the Netgear app and it worked. Now I can't figure out how to put a time limit on a device for bedtime. Would you be able to help? Thank you!

Hi Townsend96,

1. What is the model number and firmware version of your router?

2. If your router supports the Disney Circle feature (list of routers are here), then you can look into it here.

3. If not, you can use a combination of features. See below.

First, you can do Address Reservation for your devices and set them on a range (i.e. 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.10). Steps are linked below.

Second, set a schedule (i.e. 22:00 to 06:00). Steps are linked below.

Third, set to block all services. Steps are linked below.
