Feature request / improvements

Hello everyone,
I have had the Archer AX6000 for about a month now, it replaced my google provided router for the 1GB fiber service. I have some initial questions / requests.
#1 Parental controls: Setting more than one time window for internet access. I would like to set multiple times when the internet isn't accessible to a given device. Maybe durring the school day I want a pause, and then again at bed time. How about a pause timer? You select pause, and it asks for how long: 10 mins, 30 mins, forever, custom
#2 Parental controls: Website blocking. There currently doesn't seem to be a way to build a block list of domains that are blocked / allowed for a given profile. Is this planned for the future? I have only been able to block the ones that appear on the Insights top 10 list, this isn't very useable and for many is a top desire for controlling access for the children.
#3 the age based restriction is almost useless in my household, I think it needs to be reworked and replaced with a block list of predefined services: Facebook, Twitter, etc, as well as broader categories like Social media, steaming media, etc. and the ability to create block / allow lists. Nothing works except these sites, or everything works except these sites.
Can someone comment on the likelihood any of these suggestions will ever make it into the product?
Thanks in advance!
1. This has been forwarded before by previous users and we have forwarded it to our devs for consideration.
2. When setting the profile category be it child or teen, you can also select the "+" symbol and add a website to filter:
3. You can customize the categories by selecting the "-" symbol to further edit them. To be able to edit everything, choose Adult.
Every feature that is forwarded is always for consideration so there is not a guarantee or likelihood to give, but that they do take note.
