Netgear R7000 compatibility and blocking rules not working

I have two homes with different Netgear routers and each with the Blue Firewalla. The R7000 router does not appear on the official compatibility list. But it does appear on the user submitted list.

When I schedule blocking internet traffic for a PC on the R7000 network, it either does nothing or instead blocks traffic at the wrong time. On the Netgear Orbi network blocking works perfectly. It’s not operator error since it’s me both times. Should I conclude that simple mode does not work on the R7000? I tried enabling IPv6 and even the beta firmware. No success. Suggestions?

  there is a bug in some systems where the initial block time is wrong.  try to reboot the box, advanced->reboot, then the scheduler should work.

  Success. One reboot = problem solved.
