Home shield Pro
I'm thinking of buying home shield pro on my home network that has deco x50's. I have another office network using the same TPLink account but running on M5's. Will the home shield pro that I am using on my home network work on my office network or do I need to buy a different subscription. Btw, the office network only has less than 10 devices

Hi, welcome to the community.
Deco M5 doesn't support HomeShield Pro so your could still use the same TP-link ID to subscribe HomeShield Pro.
More details about HomeShield subscription, please refer to General questions about HomeShield Subscription Service
Thank you very much and best regards.

Hi together,
I started a paid subscription for Home Shield Pro to have an advanced protection of my children against being spoiled by Youtube and other online stuff, especially to avoid distraction from school/ homework.
But by using my Archer AX55 router it is not working properly.
I performed the following steps to have a first trial with my MS Surface Pro 11.
- Creating a new profile with name and age (e.g. Admin_test, 10 years old)
- Assigning a device: I have chosen my personal device for the first initial confirmation if it works properly
- Configuration of family profile:
- As first step I added "Youtube" as a keyword to the blocked webpage to block all URL's containing this keyword
- to be sure that Youtube is reliably blocked I used the "Webfilter" and decided to block the categories "Adult Content" and "Streaming & Media" in the list
- additionally I configured "Blocked Apps" to block all applications listed in the "Streaming & Media" category
- all other items such as bed time, time limit or free time are not configured/ turned off
However, when checking the proper functionality of this Home Shield configuration I found out that it is absolutely not working.
YouTube can be used as before and even if I configure Home Shield to block social media like Facebook or Instagram, it remains unchanged, so that the Homepages which should be blocked are still accessible.
What is my mistake?
I am quite disappointed so far, especially since I am even paying for an extended functionality and the basics are not working yet.
Maybe I have a wrong configuration.
I am thankful for any advice.
Cheers,
Gordon
