@duzy77 

here is what i found in the instructions: 

"

9 2 Parental Controls
Parental Controls allows you to set up unique restrictions on internet access for each member of your family. You can block inappropriate content, set daily limits for the total time spent online and restrict internet access to certain times of the day."

 

Q: where is the menu to set daily limits?

 

all i see is only possible to set one flat limit per week! There is No way to set it per day!

Thank you for posting on the TP-Link Community.

 

As far as I can tell, you may need to subscribe to the HomeShield Pro service then you can enjoy the time limits feature, this actually has been mentioned here:

https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/2996/

 

Just to confirm, where did you see the 9 2 Parental Controls?

Page 47  par. 9.2.  

it states that you can set certain time for the day!

 

So why when I try to set time per day, it asks me to pay for it ?

Follow this link, scrolling down there's a table with comparison of the Basic (Free) and Pro HomeShield features.

Under the table there's a Note: *Get started with a one month free trail of Homeshield Pro.

If this was helpful click once on the arrow pointing upward. If this solves your issue, click once the star to mark it as a "Recommended Solution".

There is nothing wrong with the User Manual, you will need to subscribe to the HomeShield Pro to enjoy the Time Limits settings.

 

While Ivaylo is correct that you can still use the Time Limit for one month free, you may tap the Time Limits to confirm.

The subscription fee are too expensive. Annual fee almost the price of the Routersurprise
