I haven't figured out how to enable Smart Parent Controls. My Orbi app on the Android phone doesn't have a "tile" for parent controls. Not sure how to enable it. The website isn't very helpful either about this.
The web interface on my Orbi has a menu item for Parental Controls. (see attached)
My Orbi app also has a tile, so maybe our systems are more different than I thought.
I believe Parental Controls for the AX product line was delayed (and delayed), but I remember reading that it is available now.

Interesting. I don't have it on my Orbi control. It seems that Netgear is phasing out support for Parental Controls and asking to use OpenDNS now. Which doesn't work for what I need but oh well!

My impression is exactly the opposite. Netgear first had an arrangement with OpenDNS, then with Disney, and finally announced their own product: https://community.netgear.com/t5/NETGEAR-Smart-Home-Parental/Introducing-Smart-Parental-Controls/m-p/2065214#M1
