Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.1.1 Build 20250919 rel.16301

The Tether app does not show the correct time limits after making updates.  If I log into the router the time limits will show that they have been updated, but the mobile app shows a previous time limit.  The inaccurate time shows up right after clicking save (on that page) as well as the "Parental Controls" page - which is problematic because it will say, 2h used/4h when the limit has been changed to 3 hours.  Could you please fix this?  It has been this way for a long time - at least since the last firmware update, but think it was having issues even before that.  

 

On the positive side, I'm grateful for the Tether app even if it isn't working quite like it should.  Thank you!

Hello  @Huhenyo ,

Welcome to our community.

 

Look likes that after updating parental control time limits in the Tether app, the app continues to display the old/previous time limit values — even immediately after saving — while the router's web interface correctly reflects the changes. 

 

Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try:

• Force close and reopen the Tether app after making changes to see if the updated values load correctly.
• Log out of the Tether app and log back in, which can sometimes force a full data refresh from the router.
• Check for any available updates for the Tether app in your device's app store, as a newer version may have addressed this abnormal display.

 

 

If the problem persists after trying these steps, we recommend sending an email to forumsupport.usa@tp-link.com  with the following information:
