Circle does not work with Wired Ports on Orbi

Ok, so I enabled Circle on my Orbi to control my sons light night gaming, but his Nintendo Switch is connected to a wired port on the Orbi (to improve the speed for his online gaming), what I have found it that Circle does not work on wired ports. I confirmed this by plugging in my laptop to the wired port and then paused that device in Circle, but the internet still works on my laptop. If my laptop is connected to the Orbi by Wifi the circle does pause the internet connection.

 

Is there a fix for this coming or anyway to resolve this ? because otherwise Circle is of no use to me.

 

Thanks
