Model: Archer C7  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.1.2

Following a recent firmware update the parental controls have been changed. Before I was able to select specific times to restrict internet access. Now I can only select access in 1 hour increments. Why downgrade this facility? Can I revert back?

As far as I know, the Time Limits can be set to 30mins intervals, please confirm:

@Kevin_Z I am wanting to set the internet allowed time. Why would they change this to hourly when the capability to set to the minute was there. Its like going back 10 years! For example I might allow the kids 10 minutes extra one evening. Now its off at 9pm or stay on until 10pm!!?? No need to change. 

TP Link why? I might look for another unit as I purchased it because of this facility.

Do you remember what is the previous version? If it was this one Archer C7(EU)_V5_201120, I think you can give it a go to roll it back.
