Content filtering not working
My son is getting a bit older and I want to block some keywords from being used etc. I clicked on always and added word. Clicked apply and can still look up these words. The parental genie app does not work with the XR 500. The more I try to use certain functions in this router I am starting to see alot of flaws. This should be a simple add keword and apply feature.

Sorry to hear this isn't working. Which app specifically isn't working?
We're planning on adding some robust parental control features in future versions of DumaOS.
Take a look at this post about the upcoming version update: https://forum.netduma.com/topic/29487-announcement-the-future-of-dumaos-version-30/
Content filetring on the XR500-block sites.
- That feature only applies to HTTP and not HTTPS sites which unfortunately means the feature will not work on major sites. This is a Netgear feature and as above we have plans ourselves to do some parental control.
