Re: Parental Controls
I understand you attempt to appease the forum. I recommend that you do not consistantly say that your team is looking into Parental Controls as your team has been saying this since the router came out. Frankly to say you are looking into something repeatedly for over two years is just a lie.
We all know that this is a gaming router. The fact is that kids like to game. As a result, we buy the best router for gaming (and at a premium price) to allow the best gaming experience for our kids. Unfortunately, as I have said before, the DumaOS falls short as a well rounded gaming router.
My suggestion is just to admit that that is all it is and that your team will never offer parental controls. Remember, honesty is always the best policy. For now my FingBox takes care of the parental controls that this router and the DumaOS lack.

We're actually not lying when we say that parental controls are in the pipeline, it's something our team is very interested in adding to the router, but we want to do it properly.
If you have any suggestions for Parental Control features that you'd like to see, I can put you in touch with the DumaOS developers. They'd be interested in hearing what customers want from their Parental Controls solutions. What do current solutions offer that you like? What do you wish they would do that they don't?
Anybody who's interested in giving their suggestions to the developers, let me know and i'll put you in contact.

Re: Parental Controls
Maybe it's just a really addictive mobile game? Maybe not...
I'll PM you some details about talking to the DumaOS devs about what you'd like to see from a Parental Controls feature, if you'd like.

Re: Parental Controls
Needless to say this is a significant disapointment to me.... I have seen your company advertise the parental control features of the "Nighthawk App".. this was the reason I selected your brand. But to then sell a "nighthawk" router (all be it, a gaming router) that doesn't offer the enhanced features that you using to market the nighthawk brand is just down right rediculous and manipulative in my opinion. I don't see how this can not be priority number 1 for your company, seeing the number of parents with kids that "Game".

Re: Parental Controls
Well when I say "on the roadmap" I literally mean we're working on it. We're aware it's a much requested feature.
When we do release it, we're going to do it right. We're not really interested in releasing some half baked parental control feature that barely works.

Re: Parental Controls
UPDATE:
I made the decision to move back to a non-gaming router. The performance and features of the XR500 are both disappointing and worthless. I use the FingBox to manage all users and devices from my cell phone. The app works whether I am at home or away so that is a nice bonus. I have week night and weekend schedules for my kids and can shut off their access with the push of a button. The Zing app also notifies me when a new device joins the network. My kid's devices are assigned to them individually, so I can manage their access to their IP technology on an individual basis.
Since I switched routers the reliability of my home network has improved significantly. Combined with my ZingBox I have all the speed and control I ever wanted. Unfortunately the DumaOS application just does not live up to the current needs of parents with children.
