Hi,
I am unable to get Parental Control to work for one of the devices.

The goal is to limit the time spent on the web. I tried three options of setting Effective Time in conjunction with Black List, White List or None - device continues to have unlimited access to web in all three cases. As an experiment I tried setting Effective Time to 24 hours and also 0 hours. Router time is synced via internet and is correct - still no joy.

MAC-address of device is fixed. For parental control device was selected from the list of connected devices. I also manually checked MAC-address and confirm it matches settings in the router.

After applying any settings I tried rebooting the router.

I there something I am doing wrong?

Cheers.

If access is still maintained through a web browser try deleting any cached data or use a different browser, run in private/incognito mode to test. Make sure the computer is not using any VPN connection as well. Also, check if the computer is connecting through another device like an extender which could change its MAC address.

Hi Tony, Device is clearly not using VPN. I tried different browsers with no success. Also, tried incognito mode in Chrome and also had full the access during restricted time. Please refer to several screen grabs with my settings. Note the system time is 9am and while schedule should only allow access after 4pm I was still able to browse...

Not extender is used in my setup.
