1). Add time.windows.com and time.nist.gov to the “Allowed URLs” box in the profile. One per line.

Can you see the 2.4G signal from your computer?

You may try setting the 2.4G to a specific channel instead of the default “Auto”. If you still cannot see the 2.4G signal, please send a screenshot of the wireless page to [email protected]. Thanks!

That is expected behavior. With parental control disabled, the router does not force DNS server settings on the PC.

You may want to enable parental control on the router, but create a profile with parental control disabled (on the profile).

This function will be added in the next update, coming in a few days.

Thanks for reporting the problem. We can fix this pretty quickly. The fix will be included in the next firmware update, coming in a few days.

@Casino For time synchronization, you can white list the NTP server to get around the block. For example, if your Windows PC uses SRV.CS.CMU.EDU as NTP server, you can add the domain name to the “Allowed URLs”. Ref: How to check NTP settings.

To enable WhatsApp on your phone, you may consider to put it in a separate profile and disable parental control on that profile.

If you want to enable WhatsApp on a child’s device, while at the same time block VPN, you can check what domains are blocked by viewing the Internet logs in raw mode. Then add the required domains to the white list.

Tor2web cannot be blocked with a single click. However, you can add the top level domains to the black list, e.g., onion.direct, onion.link etc.

pcWRT cannot block TOR but allow VPN & proxy at the same time. We don’t know of any way to accomplish this either.

What is your usage scenario?

We are putting in an update to improve compatibility between parental control and UDP port forwarding. This is being tested currently.

You can block specific VPNs by adding the domain names in the Blocked URLs list. However, this cannot be done for TOR since the domain names cannot be determined. But if you block TOR, you will block all VPNs.

Unfortunately, these other video sites do not support safe search.

@lihjong The router will not change schedules automatically. Something else is happening in your environment. Please try these and see if you see any changes:
1. Update the schedule and log out. Then log in immediately afterwards, do you see the schedule changed?
2. If there’s no change above, reboot the router. Then check again. Do you see schedule change?
3. If there’s no change above, update your System Settings to enable notification on settings updates. Do you get notification when the schedule changes?

Opera VPN should be blocked by OpenDNS already (if you choose OpenDNS). TOR cannot be separated from other VPNs. When you block TOR, you block all other VPNs. However, you can block all VPNs but allow the VPNs you need by adding the domain names in the “Allowed URLs”.

1). Check out this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing

2). Same as above.

3). Look at the System Settings page, Hosts section.

@lihjong Maybe someone is going in there to change the schedule without your knowledge? You may try to change the router management password and see if that happens again. If you have remote management turned on, you may want to turn it off temporarily until you figure out what’s happening. Or change the pcwrt.com password also.

Additionally, you may want to turn on notification for configuration changes on the System Settings page.
