Hi All,

I recently moved to 2 Degrees hyperfibre internet connection. The connection came with a 10GB Wan and AX ax Orbi router.
My last router was Asus AX11000 and so far I have been left saddened by Orbi router.

While I await the new Asus Gt Be98 pro to become available here in NZ I have been trying to get the parental controls working on the Orbi.

Sadly I cannot get the parental controls feature working because as par Netgear I have to register the router to my username first.
That should have been easy but for whatever reasons the 2degrees orbi router will not register. I contacted Netgear support and they struggled as well.

NETGEAR asked me to check with 2degrees. I contacted 2degrees for support and they put me on hold for over 30 minutes. I hung up after someone from the other side started playing with the dial tunes lol.

Anyone else who may have gone through something similar?

not answering your question but why do you think you need a $800USD router?

It is best in its class I.e. wifi 7.
All wifi 7 routers are around the same price range.
