I bought and installed this network for its promise of parental controls, but this isn’t working. Never has (been using for 8 months). Devices I know are active appear as “Disconnected” When I slide the Resume/pause button from green to off on a specific client, nothing happens. The devices (“clients “) still can access the Wifi. Is there another setup step required for this to work? Network trash without these device-blocking controls.

Not aware any Orbi Pro, including the ones built around the SRR60 or the SXR80 base stations ever came with a promise like any kind of parental controls.

@PAfarmboy kids might have figured out on how to use random MAC addresses on their iPhones, Droids, ... if you think you catched them, they will delete the WiFi connection, reconfigure the WiFi connection ... there it comes, a new device identity. A rat race you can't win.

Permitting the really active device (not one with an identity from the past) is affected, well possible we face a bug here. @BruceGuo
When I bougt the SRR60, I was informed that I could have great Parental Controls through the NG portal Genie. Somewhere along the way the internet version - and the app - has vanished - which pretty much left me (and others it seems) hanging...
Hi DaneA I know that the product as it self doesn't have any Parental Control functionality. But before I bought the SRR60 I contacted the seller on the issue, and he referred me to Genie. My need for parental control greater now, but now Genie is no more, and that's annoying. Kind regards Rodent

I appreciate the information and advice you have shared. I will try to figure it out for more.
