I just recently got an EA6900 router. I chose Linksys (used to have Netgear) primarily for the more robust and easy to set up parental controls. I have my kids' computer, and both of their iPods, set to be blocked from noon - 6:00pm (our "unplugged afternoons" lol).
It has been working fine for the past few days. Then this morning, at around 9:30, these 3 devices suddenly lost their internet access. All of them SHOWED that they were connected to the network, but they could not access anything. My tablet and computer were fine. I double checked the scheduled block time for the parental controls, and they were correct (noon - 6pm). I checked the router time zone was set correctly, and it was. I disabled parental controls, and the 3 devices all were able to connect to the internet. I re-enabled parental controls, and they were not. So apparently, for whatever reason, the parental control was blocking these devices from the network, even though it was NOT within the scheuduled "blocked" time frame.
any ideas?? Thanks in advance.
