Parental Controls

When i click on Parental Controls I get:

Checking Router Firmware

We're making sure you have firmware that supports Live Parental Controls.

You dont appear to be conneted to the internet. Please connect to the internet through your netgear router and try again.

I belive I am connected though my router on my laptop since im doing this on there.

Re: Parental Controls

Hi @bogeyck,

 

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

2. Please try uninstalling and re-installing the program.

3. Please try another device (Android, iOS, another computer).

 

Regards,

Re: Parental Controls

Same issue here for already a week. R7800 latest firmware. Tried with several mobile devices as well as the mac and the windows client.

Re: Parental Controls

I think you have a more significant problem on your hands than it might seem - something broke.  I have an R7000 with updated firmware and I'm getting the exact same error.

Re: Parental Controls

Hi,

I have solved the issue by resetting the router to factory setting and manually reconfigured the router. (this time I did not use the recovery option of my old settings). A lot of work so I hope this does occur frequently ;-(.

 

Thanks for your support.

 

Regards,

Johan
