Parental Controls: Blocking device based on time schedule
There are multiple inactive community discussions dating back several years with people asking for the ability to set time schedules for individual devices (using MAC addresses or whatever). For example, I want to turn off wifi to my kid's device at a certain time of evening on a school night, but not affect all devices. I may want to have a different time schedule for a younger child than an older child. I may want to limit access to wifi at different times of the day. There should be clear, straight-forward solutions to these issues. Here is a response from Netgear from back in 2015: "Re: Blocking device based on time schedule NETGEAR is working to implement the feature in the near future. You may check the updated FAQs. http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24580/~/c3000%2Fc3700-faqs Regards, JamesGL Community Team" Why is this so difficult? Why doesn't Netgear answer this request after so many years?? This should be at the top of the list of any parental feature offered!!Can't block a device
Hello! Does anyone know why I can't block one of the devices on my Netgear Genie network map? All the other connected devices have the option to block. I have access control turned on. But one device just gives me the details and no option to block it and I don't recognize the device. Thank You, wxman319
