It worked!!! Thank you so much!!!
By simply applying that FW upgrade, it now supports the pausing/blocking of internet to connected devices on the network.
The only other question I have...I was able to upgrade firmware on the router but not the satellite. Is that normal or should I try something else to upgrade that one?

Be sure to try to set IP address reservations for your devices. then try to block them.

Thanks for the link to the FW update. Not sure why when check for updates through the app it says there are none available.
I'm a novice here...can you explain what you mean by setting IP reservations? what exactly is that and how do you do that?

Some FW updates won't appear in the udpate page on the RBR.
Under Advanced Tab/Setup/LAN Setup. Down at the bottom is ADD button. Select this and it will display a list of devices. Select the small round button and this will auto fill in the box fields at the bottom of this page, here you can change the name if you wish. Then select the ADD button. This will take you back one page. You can continue adding ip address reservations. Once done, select apply at the top of the device list page and this will save the changes.
