Orbi WiFi System Parental Controls NOT Persistent
I purchased my Orbi system several months back and haven't had any issues until recently. The two issues I am having are with.
1. Airprint
2. Parental Controls.
Firmware version installed: 1.8.0.6
Both Airprint and Parental Controls are NOT persistent.
Airprint
Airprint is enabled for my printer within Netgear Genie (Desktop version); however when I try to Airprint from my iPhone, I receive a message stating "No Airprint Printers Found. I have to reboot the Orbi system in order for it to work. After a period of time, I have to repeat these steps to get it to work. Not persistent!!
Parental Controls
I'm having the same issues with Parental Controls as I am with Airprint. I have certain devices with their FILTER level set to "None"; however when I try to use a VPN service or something else that the "default"level of Parental Controls would block, it's blocked. The only fix is to reboot the Orbi and then after a period of time, I am right back to where I was at before, reuiring a reboot of the Orbi.
I'm thinking about re-applying, if possible, the v1.8.0.6 firmware but wanted to check to see if nyone else was experiencing the same or similar issues?
Thanks!

Hello tubastank
Have you reflash the firmware yet if so did it work?

Re: Orbi WiFi System Parental Controls NOT Persistent
Yes, i reflashed the firmware and there are no changes. Airprint and parental controls are not persistent. I have to continue rebooting the router to get each to work.
