Blocking urls
I've seen videos of how to block urls but my tether app doesn't show a "TARGET" option after access control nor am I able to change the mode to URL? Any ideas on how I can block certain urls from being able to come thru my router?

Welcome to our community.
If your router or app does not support direct URL blocking, you may need to check for firmware updates or consider using a TP-Link router model that supports more advanced parental controls.
Here are some steps you can try to block specific websites:
1. Verify Parental Control Settings.
2. Clear Cache and Cookies: On the devices you want to restrict, clear the browser's cache and cookies. This can help ensure that previous access attempts do not bypass the parental controls.
3. Disable VPN Software: Make sure any VPN connections are disabled on the devices you are controlling, as VPNs can bypass parental controls.
4. Disable Secure DNS Feature: On the controlled devices, open the browser settings and go to Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Use secure DNS. Turn off the secure DNS feature, as it may allow users to bypass website blocking.
