Disney Circle has disappeared on Orbi RBR50
I have two Netgear routers. R8000 and Orbi mesh. I was able to set up parental controls through Circle on R8000 but on Orbi, the Disney Circle facility is not even present. This however was not true ...
For some reason, my app does not show parental control:
Ok, then I know why you can't use Circle or even Parental Control on Orbi.
Your Orbi seems to be set in AP mode and in this mode Orbi acts only as a wireless access point and leaves all routing decision to the main router and therefore can't do any parental contol.
If you want Orbi to do parental control then you need to set it in Router mode. In this case you need to set the main router in bridged mode to avoid IP conflicts.
Actually, my Orbi is in router mode. Otherwise I don't think I can even access Parental Control in AP mode. Though my modem is not in bridge mode, the Orbi is avoiding IP conflict by using 10.0.0.x series of IP.
So how does your setting look like in this page:
and this page:
Please click on Router Mode (even if it's already in Router Mode) and click on Apply and see if anything will change.
My analysis is that your Orbi is in AP mode, or it thinks that it's in AP mode.

When posting pictures please use PNG format and not GIF as otherwise nobody will be able to see them until a moderator approves them.
This is a PNG image. Anyway, would you be able to tell me the way forward? I have right now, anyway got the modem in bridge mode. The internet seems to be working fine but a little slower for some reason. The parental controls are not working but let me reset the orbi and take it from there.
