Orbi RBR750 doesn't have Smart Parental Control feature
I have Orbi RBR750 Firmware Version V4.6.9.11_2.3.5
How do I enable the Smart Parental Control feature? It is not on my Android app (v 2.20.2.2506) and nothing in the GUI admin access portal either.
I checked the documentation and it seems to support RBR750 but how do I get it? Thanks, Mike

Is see no hint that the Orbi RBR750 supports parental controls.

Re: Orbi RBR750 doesn't have Smart Parental Control feature
Thank you, but it does. RBR750 is listed in the Netgear Smart Parental Control list

Re: Orbi RBR750 doesn't have Smart Parental Control feature
The RBR750 Product Data Sheet prominently mentions Smart Parental Control on page 1.
https://www.netgear.com/images/datasheet/orbi/RBK752.pdf
and on page 4:
I find it (almost) amusing that the word "Parental" does not appear in the RBR750 user manual.
On my Orbi app, Parental Controls is the bottom right panel. Maybe it has scrolled down out of sight?
p.s. The current fiasco with the Orbi 'app' may in some way be affecting what shows in the app.

I looked at the KnowledgeBase articles and found no mention. Maybe it was an old page that needs fixing.

Sadly, Netgear's manuals rarely get updated to reflect changes made in new firmware. Many still refer to the old and long dead parental controls.

Re: Orbi RBR750 doesn't have Smart Parental Control feature
Hi @iyang ,
I didn't change the account in-app (as far as I remember). I set my Orbi a year ago, and I don't recall any changes to the app that I could actually make (like removing a tile in app configuration or something like that). I also deleted the app on my phone and re-installed it and still don't see the parental control tile.
I sort of wonder if I do a full factory reset of the entire Orbi system, do you think it will make a difference? I appreciate your help on this. Thanks, Mike

Re: Orbi RBR750 doesn't have Smart Parental Control feature
A factory reset maybe needed.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

Re: Orbi RBR750 doesn't have Smart Parental Control feature
Hello mib123,
Thank you for your post!
I understand that you would like to enable SPC from your Android device.
To enable SPC from your Android device please do the following in your Orbi app:
HAMBURGER MENU > SETTINGS > PARENTAL CONTROLS > toggle ENABLE SMART PARENTAL CONTROLS
(PBA: A factory reset may be required )
Best,
Kevin

Did you receive an answer for your quesiton? I have the same one. It seems as though my orbi router is supposed to have the parental controls, but I don't see the parental control tile...anywhere. I have the RBK753

Whose question is that? Which question?
Did you read the message from @KevinLiT?
The one just before your message.
You have joined in on a conversation from last November. It has quite a few messages and things to try. If they don't work for you, then you might do better to start with a new message, including the relevant details as discussed in earlier messages.

Re: Orbi RBR750 doesn't have Smart Parental Control feature
Can you confirm whether or not Orbi RBK753 has access to Parental Controls? I do not see a tile in the orbit app settings, and I'm reading mixed opinions as to whether this Orbi model supports Parental controls.
Regards,
H. Most

Re: Orbi RBR750 doesn't have Smart Parental Control feature
I also have an RBR750 without parental controls. However, I have iOS and cannot see the tile within the app. The web interface isn't showing parental controls either. Just installed the latest app on my phone, the latest firmware on the Orbi RBR750, and all of this is from a factory reset last week. Any help would be great.

Re: Orbi RBR750 doesn't have Smart Parental Control feature
Hi @aeolus492 ,
Can you share the screenshot for App ?
Can I know what's country are you located at?
Because smart parent control does not support in some country.
Thanks.

Re: Orbi RBR750 doesn't have Smart Parental Control feature
Oddly, a few days ago when logging into the orbi app I was presented with parental control options. I set them up, and the button now appear in the menu. Again, this was nearly a week after a factory reset and firmware update. There appears to be a delay in the processing of the parental controls after a factory reset. Additionally, before the options appeared I did some digging into the code on the web interface and could see that a CSS class was hiding the parentals controls button. So IDK what is going on with their firmware / gui but it's strange.
