Nighthawk R7000 security blocked sites still able to be acessed via wireless

Firmware Version: V1.0.9.26.10.2.31

GUI Language Version: V1.0.9.26_2.1.38.1

Using a Windows 10 Home OS on PC to access Router via Netgear Genie

I have set up a list of sites to block via NETGEAR genie via Advanced -> Security -> Block Sites and then selected apply and logged off and restarted the router.

The direct connected computer gets the blocked site message, but the wireless connected devices are still able to access the sites in the block list.

Also enabled Standard Parental Controls but do not see any additional options for blocking sites.

Hi peheathc,

What are the sites you are trying to access?

Provide screenshots of the sites that you were able to access on laptop but blocked on desktop.

Check this firmware as well.
