Frustrated by flakiness and quite frankly broken-ness
Hi, This is a bit of a rant, I know. I have been using the Box 2 for a while now but its inconsistent and flaky behavior is driving me mad. The No. 1 reason I use it is not actually to protect my home (a happy side-effect), it is as a sort-of parental control unit. I am also not all that interested in filtering, I am…

BD Central "Some devices require attention"
On the "My Devices" window of BD Central it would be super helpful if when I see the Bitdefender BOX statement "some devices require attention" that the said devices that require attention were identified.

Hi, I'm looking into buying a bitdefender box 2 and had a few questions I was hoping someone could help me with? - Can you install a VPN on the bitdefender box 2? - Would you use it as your main router or just as traffic control?

DHCP Options
Just setting up the my new Bitdefender Box and I'm surprised I can't find two things that feel pretty basic compared to other firewalls/routers. How can I change the DHCP Lease Time? I REALLY don't like a 24 hour lease time. Second, when I click into a device and edit the network settings how can I see the MAC address of…

Question on parental control capabilities
Good Morning, I currently own a "Circle" device for my parental control setup, and I find it rather limited in many respects, specifically: - No ability to set "per application" limit, for example "limit this list of application to one hour total", but does not limit the rest - No ability to define schedules, such as "only…

Question on device traffic monitoring
Good Morning, I currently own a "Circle" device, and there is one very painful limitation that I discovered on this unit: since all outbound traffic is filtered by Circle, this is the main device that appears on my router network usage, I do not have access to the list of filtered devices that are actually consuming…

Overwatch Disconnects on Box 2 (and other issues)
Hi 1) Since putting in the Box 2 I am getting server disconnects when playing Overwatch (at least once a day but it happens once in some hours of play).

Advanced Wi-Fi Options
I'd like to use my Box 2 as my Wi-Fi router, however, I would like additional configuration settings. It would be great to be able to schedule on and off times for the Wi-Fi and to be able to adjust things like power level, beacon interval, DTM, etc.

Changelog
I know there's a pinned firmware thread for this kind of thing but it always seems to take an unacceptably long time for new update details to be posted. I don't understand why a changelog isn't or can't be included when installing the update with the mobile apps. It would be so much more convenient than having to keep…
