Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 2.2.6

Anybody else still having URL filtering issues with the ER605? Even after upgrading to version 2.2.6, the filtering does not work. I do notice that ping is blocked so, I know the router is performing some sort of filtering. I also notice that if I have not visited the website and I enable to the filter, it works. If I disable the filter, go to the website, and then re-enabled the filter, the filter stops working. This has been seen using the newest versions of Chrome and Edge.

If you have caches, clear the cache. It has nothing to do with the router firmware.

Or wait fo the cache to expire. This cannot be blocked as the caches are stored on the clients. Not on the router.

  @Clive_A Yes, this does work as you described, but it does not offer a real world solution as I would have to clear the cache on ALL devices within my network before the filtering takes place.

I do not witness this issue on the test device. Is there a chance that your browser isn't set properly?

This is the dilemma. We do not control the IP access if they are translated into IP format. The cache can load the page, which is not something we could even stop.

You can ChatGPT about what I said. This is really beyond our control.
