Domain Blocking does not work
Hey all,
Looks like I'm late to the party. No matter what I try Domain Blocking (i.e. Twitter.com) does not work.
Yes, I have just loaded the latest firmware, and no it did not work with year old firmware I just replaced.
I specifically have the R6700v2, and you can clearly see on page 65 in the below manual it is suppose to work:

In fact, the help built into the route states:
To Block Keywords or Internet Domains:
- Select when to turn on Keyword Blocking (Never, Per Schedule, or Always).
- In the Type Keyword Or Domain Name Here field, type the word or domain name you want to block.
- Click Add Keyword.
- The word or domain name will appear in the list.
- Continue adding names and keywords until you are finished.
- Click Apply when finished.
I've tried twitter, twitter.com, www.twitter.com and the router never block any of them.
I'd love to be proven wrong, but if I'm not NetGear has lost a customer FOR LIFE.
