Question about the Parental Controls

[spokey]

Not even sure if this is a Merlin question but the issue came up a couple days ago when I upgraded the Merlin from RT-AC86U_386.1_0 to RT-AC86U_386.2_0 (just tried RT-AC86U_386.2_2 see if it changed and it has not).

Up to 386.1 the time schedule for a given machine was a nice easy to use and understand visual interface.

now I've got this when I click to edit a particular machine:

Is there some setting that got nuked? Any way to get back the usable interace?

thanks

I believe it's an upstream change by Asus. I've seen other people commenting that they don't like it.

I think they now allow other than 'hourly' start/stop times, so the graphical interface really doesn't fit well anymore.

A little imagination and they could do both.

Agreed....just a SMOP (Simple Matter of Programming)....just up to them where they want to spend their resources.....

Hey all,
I have this issue too, so are we stuck with this, i just moved to an asus ax88u from an older ac Linksys and the linksys had the other type of interface. cant set multiple blocks per day with this setup.

it is the same - just click on book icon

if some1 truly need parental control feature are changing router to Synology

 

[spokey]

Yes very difficult interface to use now .

oh man, that sucks. i like everything else about this router except for that. Decisions... let me kid waste away on his xbox and save $$, or drop some more cash on another linksys, anyone know if Netgear or TP link have better controls?
