Re: parental controls
Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Smart Parental Controls product. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Circle and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Re: parental controls
Macs use dynamic MAC addresses, you would have to change the setting on them to use a fixed MAC address, this would allow the Orbi to then block them everytime.

In addition to iPhones, this is now the default for new Android phones and tablets as well. That option in settings works as long as the kids are not able to access the settings menu and change it back to 'random'.

Re: parental controls
Hey @dolimite
Are you able to see the devices in the iOS app?
Since my system auto-upgraded firmware to v 4.6.5.14 I'm getting a CDIL-API-FAIL error when trying to access device list or trying to add a device to a profile in smart parent controls.
