My Parent Control got disable after firmware update.
After I update my router firmware, I lost parent control option. I have a Nighthawk X4 AC2350. The Router model is R7500v2 and the current firmware version V1.0.3.26.
When I click on Parental Control in the Netgear Genie, I got the error message below:
Checking Router Firmware
We're making sure you have firmware that supports Like Parental Controls.
It looks like you might not be connecting to the Internet through a supported NETGEAR router. Please make sure your computer is connected to you NETGEAR router via a wireless or Ethernet connection and try again. If this problem persists, turn off you router and turn it back on, wait until LEDs are lit and try again. For further assistance visit http://netgear.opendns.com/support.
I have tried both connecting to the router wire and wireless and none work. My NETGEAR router connects to a AT&T U-Verse. And it has been work fine before I updated the new firm ware.
Please help!

I visited the support site, but nothing there that is helpful for my issue. I uninstalled Genie and reinstalled the Genie file that I down load in 2016. Now it give me the a different error message below:

You don't appear to be connected to the Internet. Please connect to the Internet through you NETGEAR router and try again.
I'm connected to the internet through NETGEAR rounter. Please help!

I read your comments and only you pointed me to other links with good resolved comments, but I have no luck so far. Netgear doesn't help me because I bought the Router over a year ago and I can't request for support from them. I really regret buying this router from them. My next router will not be Netgear or any other Netgear products. thanks for you responds.
