LPC on C6300BD not working
I have a C6300BD (fimware v2.01.08) and Genie v 2.4.26 and LPC has stopped working. I had set it up previously and it was blocking sites correctly, but now when I select LPC from the Genie menu is says "It looks like you might not be connecting to the Internet through a supported NETGEAR router. Please make sure your computer is connected to your NETGEAR router via wireless or Ethernet connection. If the problem persists turn off your router and turn it back on, wait until LEDs are lit and try again." I tried logging in via a browser and the LPC page takes me to the OpenDNS login; I can log in there and verify my settings are correct. I have powered the router off and back on and updated to the latest version of Genie. I see a "C6300B" listed in the page that lists the supported devices (http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24686/~/netgear-genie-supported-routers). I downloaded the iOS app to see if that would work, but it will not even log in to the router. The router is set with the default IP address of 192.168.0.1. The only other issue I can see with the router is that it fails the firware update check with a "Failed to get firmware version. message. Is the C6300BD still supported?Live Parental Controls Stopped Working
Model: Nighthawk X4S D7800 Firmware: V1.0.1.10 OS: iPad with latest Genie software and iMac (Sierra) with latest Genie software I originally setup parental controls when I purchased the router, 4 months ago without incident. Recently it is no longer working. The Web UI shows NOT ENABLED under the Parental Controls Icon I can log into netgear.opendns.org in a web browser on either device with my credentials without issue. When I try and log in to Parental Controls in Genie on my iPad the UI just sits on Signing into OpenDNS... forever. In Genie on my Mac it tries to log in and then returns could not log in, check your internet connection. On both devices I get invalid user name or password if I intentially enter them wrong, so it is certainly communicating with the server. I expect it's something wrong with my Router, but no idea what to look at. Any advice would be appreciated.
