I am also unable to Add a parental control....I get through the little wizard, hit save, and all the all the fields turn "red", with no message informing me what it is that I might have done wrong....so yeah, that's no good.

2 Weeks after a firm-ware upgrade release (if 20170630) and not fixed? And how on earth could something this simple get through the QA of their release processes...? So maybe TP-Link doesn't actually have any QA on their release processes...?

"I have upgraded my Archer C5400 to firmware 170630 and found out that's a total disaster. I cannot add any profile for the parental control function. It appeared red colour for the options. Please advice."


I can confirm I am having the same exact problem. I cannot save profiles.

i can add a profiles and save it. Maybe the time is conflict, anyone show us the setup process picture? also red color options. do not backup the old settings

Just like this.

Maybe that's why they pulled the link to 170630 from the website. Because of this.

I don't use parental conrols (yet....son is only 3). Apart from that, I'm over the moon with 170630. Most stable one yet for me.

hi zeuscho, did you restore the old settings backup to this router? if so, reset this router to factory default and try again.

to zeuscho,i am not following you, any problem with the red color? but you can save it,right? if you can't save it, what error message? try another web browser

Once I click save, the font colour for settings just turn red and nothing happened. And the settings not saved.

I tried most of the browsers: Chrome/Firefox/IE...... but seems are the same result. (clicked save -> settings turn red with no error message).

Actually this is my brand new router with default settings. Just preformed an upgrade before use. I'm not expected it will getting worse after that.
