Cox Parent Control Not Functioning
Hello, I've encountered a problem with Parental Controls with it not making a significant difference. I was Curious to test them on my computer, and I patiently waited for over 24 hours, yet they still don't block major inappropriate websites. Any ideas into what might be causing this issue?

How to have parental control ON by default for unassigned devices?
Just received the Technicolor CGM4141 Panoramic Wifi Gateway from Cox this week and happy to see all the customization available per device. We're a friendly home and often have guests over to hang out and occasionally stay overnight. Can the wifi network be setup by default to have parental control ON, so we don't have to assign every single device to the Guest profile, in order to get Parental Control? If this is not possible, yet, who should I contact to add it to the development road map? This would seem to be a pretty common use case that a lot of customers would appreciate.

block specific website addresses
I have a Panoramic Arris tg1682 router/modem rented from Cox, at Cox's strong recommendation. I want to block access to specific websites as I have children who are now online. When I log in to the router at 192.168.0.1 and access the router controls I cannot find where on the menu to block websites by addess. Under "Parental Controls" it says to log into cox.wifi.com which then presents the same menu you get when using the Cox wifi app. After spending the time to create profiles and add each device to those profiles, I then turned on "Parental Controls" for the children's profiles I wanted to restrict. There were no more granular controls offered with respect to specific websites. My child was no longer able to login to their favorite video game. I want child to be able to play their favorite video game. I don't want my child to access certain websites. Every router I have used for 15 years has been able to block websites by name. How do I block specific websites from my rented Panoramic Arris tg1682 router/modem?

Control over the parental controls (whitelist & blacklist)
I turned on the parental controls and it blocked almost EVERYTHING. My kids online school, Minecraft, even Wikipedia! I had to immediately turn it off because I could not find a way to whitelist the websites, just an On/Off toggle. I can’t even access the firewall settings; it’s either “Advanced Protection” or nothing. Every other parental control software I have ever used has a whitelist and most have blacklist editing capabilities. Many even have age group selection. Is there any way to whitelist web addresses, ports, or applications? Are there age group settings? Is it just an “All or Nothing” system?
