Hi. Since today, my Tether applciation on Android is buggy ; when I move to HomeShield and select some user profile for the setting of parental control, the window briefly appear and then switch back to the list of routers. I cannot edit any more the parental control, and it seems the phoen application is the only way to do it ? When I cannot on the address http://192.168.0.1/ from my computer, I find no way to edit the parental control. I am reluctant to reinstall the application, cause I fear to loose the configuration painfully tuned. Any advice welcome.

@Sarek 

 

That is correct, the HomeShield Parental Control can only be configured and modified via the Tether APP.

 

Can you confirm if the issue persists? What is the OS version of the phone, and how about the version of the Tether APP? If possible, please try installing the Tether APP on another phone, then try to check if the HomeShield Parental Control settings can be modified.

  @Kevin_Z After one day, my children time counters were not reset to zero, but I have again able to deliver bonus time. After two days, things gets back to normal. When the bug will appear again, I will the install on another phone, good idea. You can close this ticket.

Please don't close the topic. I also have this problem. The problem occurs on every smartphone or tablet. I cannot edit or delete one of the profiles. Reinstalling the application does not help.

@Arpiotom 

 

Thank you for following up on this topic.
 

Can you confirm what is the OS version of the phone, and how about the version of the Tether APP?

 

Are there any special characters when creating the profile or role? Try using simple letters or numbers to observe if the issue persists.

 

To assist and figure it out efficiently, I've forwarded your case to the TP-Link support engineers who will contact you with your registered email address later. Please pay attention to your email box for follow-up.

After changing the subscription period from monthly to annual subscription, the Internet protection, anti-intrusion protection and IoT protection functions stopped working. Information on the current protection has not been preserved. An attempt to enable protection ends with the message "Operation failed".
