RBKE963 no parental controls in orbi app
So I upgraded from rbk800 series to this since it’s slapped on the box it has smart parental controls from best buy. Please don’t tell me netgear is just f false advertising this thing and it’s not ready. There is no parental control tile in orbi app.

Parental controls are installed and handled thru Orbi app. There is a tile that should appear there.
Have you tried looking at the Add-Ons menu in the Orbi app to see if Smart Parental Controls are seen?
