I used to be able to toggle my kids devices on and off as need be. Now I cannot.
How are you doing this?
Do you have a description for parental controls?
The free version of parental controls relied on a service provided by OpenDNS. They have now terminated the deal.
The latest Nighthawk app no longer supports standard (free) Parental Controls, only the paid for Circle.

Reverting to old firmware will do nothing to restore this free OpenDNS service.
For real control of the kids' use of the Internet, you may have to start paying.

In the list I was able to turn on and off internet to their devices. It was under devices. I am now only showing 8 devices when there is at least 19 connected as showing under access control. Nothing to do with parental controls.
