Parental controls on desktop or without the mytime app

Hi, 

 

I have everything setup in the Orbi (RBR750) Smart Parental Controls. My kids have the MyTime app on their devices and that works as expected. 

 

However, on a desktop computer connected to the Orbi the filters are not working even if the computer has the same profile assigned as my kids in Parental Controls. 

 

I have also noticed that nothing is blocked on mobile devices that don't have MyTime installed. Is the app required for the filters to work when connected to the Orbi network?

 

Is there something to install on desktops/laptops to make internet filters work? 

 

Thanks.
