Are you using the current Wi-Fi app? Is your device compatible with current Wi-Fi app? Is it up to date? Please verify this before proceeding.

If they are compatible, then you should be able to control internet usage from within the app? Which modem do you have? Devices?

Let's try the following:

1. Rebooting all of your equipment & devices by powering everything off completely by removing the power cord on each receiver & your modem.
2. Plug your modem back in after waiting 30 seconds. This can 5-7 minutes for the modem to reconnect back to Bell.
3. Once it is fully working, lights stop flashing, plug your receivers in, one at a time.
4. Turn on your TV & wait for the Bell Logo & the receiver to connect.. This can take 2-3 minutes.
5. Reboot any other devices you have by a full power off / on making sure the iOS / OS & apps are up to date with the most current software.

If after completing these earlier steps & you are still encountering issues, you should contact Bell Fibe Internet tech support at: 1 844 310-SURF (7873)

I have the same issue 

Called the tech service line as recommended 

They updated the software for my modem but was still no longer able to access parental control 

They directed me to use the controls on the WiFi app and when I indicated that they don't work at all was then  directed to reach out to the support on this forum as there is nothing they can do 

This is very disappointing given all the monthly fees I pay Bell

Have tried the above 

Also unable to initiate controls on multiple portable devices such as Chromebooks and phone

The wifi app shos the device is blocked but I can easily access the internet from the devices

Why did my access control get removed from my Home Hub 3000 recently?  In 2022 /2023 I had the access control listed on the home page of my modem dashboard, but now it says I need to go into an app called Bell WIFI.   The Bell WIFI app won't let you created schedules on devices connected to my guest wifi.   How do I go about getting the Access control back on my main dashboard when connecting to the Home Hub 3000?   or how do you create a schedule on the guest wifi via the Bell WIFI App?

Good Day & Welcome to the Bell Community Forum.
Access Control is no longer available on the HH 3000. It was replaced with the Bell Wi-Fi app. The Wi-Fi app will only control devices that are connected to your Primary Wi-Fi network.

Devices connected to the Guest Wi-Fi network can only connect to the Internet. You can not control & set up schedules for guests. You can only control access to the Guest Wi-Fi network by turning this feature on or off in Manage my Wi-Fi within the modem settings. Once turned on, access & usage is controlled by password only.

Thank you for posting your question.

Take care.
