Parental control not working

Downloaded Netgear Genie.  Router is on and running (using it now), but when I try to eneble Parental Controls in Genie, it tells me "Internet is not available.  Connect your router to the Internet."  WTF?

  • Hi sirlancelot33,

     

    1. What is the firmware version of the router?

    2. Please try using another device (computer, Android, iOS).

    3. Have you tried resetting the router?

     

    Regards,

    • Firmware has the latest version.  I don't have another device.  Of course I have reset and restarted the router.  

       

      Anyone have any real solutions?

        Was there a solution? I'm having the same problem. Opening Parental Controls through the Genie program on Windows does not work. It either says I'm not connected to the internet (when I am), or the OpenDNS login fails (it's an existing account I have verified in my browser).
