Weak Parental and Access Control / Downgraded Capabilities / PAY WALL
This is not the TP Link of the past. The entire interface has changed & several features have been removed or dumbed down. Parental Controls is minimal, only offering full internet blocking or website blocking. No options like Access Control used to have. Access Control no longer offers scheduled control per device and blocking of specific websites. Instead it simply offers a blacklist of devices to your network. Completely changed. They also introduced a cloud based router configuration via a phone app. It requires an account. The useful features can only be configured this way and most features are locked behind a pay wall. This is how they will trick you into an affordable router. All this power and no control. Done with TP Link.
