Model: Archer A10  
Hardware Version: V6
Firmware Version: 1.1.0 Build 20200416 rel.72485(5553)

I am setting Parent Controls and I don't understand why there is a limit to 4 profiles as "Family Members"

I don't just setup users as profiles but also the "Gaming" profile for xbox/playstation devices. "TV Profile" for the TV and media devices. Then 4 "User Profiles". With the restriction I am having to group devices but with a shared time limit it defeats the purpose of using time limits that are specific to a user or device group.

Maybe I need to limit the xbox play to 2 hours and open up the "Computer/Laptop" for school work. Etc.

All the functionality is there, this is a limit set by you guys. Can I get around it?

Hello, thanks for asking.

 

It only allows 4 family profiles with the current firmware, and we actually think this is sufficient as we can add multiple clients or devices in the same profile. In your scenes, may I know how many profiles do you require?

If it's an arbitrary number then why not set it to 10.

 

I have 3 teenagers.

 

Family Member 1

..... 2

..... 3

..... 4

Xbox/PlayStation

TV/Media Devices/Roku/FireStick/ChromeCast

 

I also need to separate someone's laptop and mobile device profiles to limit their daily usage.

 

A better solution would be to allow users to set limits per device within a profile not all devices within the profile.

Good point. We will record this suggestion and feedback to the related department, they will evaluate if we can re-design the feature in the foreseeable future.
