Until last week, my iMac not able to connect to internet from 5+pm onwards.
All other machines no issue.
I ahve checked all settings in Circle, removed them, reset user profile and removed Imac from Circle, iMac still not connecting to internet after 5pm.
Disabled Circle and Parental Control, it still not able to connect to internet.
When I connect through Hotspot, it works, so issue is not on the iMac.
Ran out of idea.... any suggestion?
App Version : 2.1.7
Circle F/W : 2.1.8.9
Router : Orbi RBR50
Router F/W : V2.5.1.16
Paid Circle subscription.
It's odd because several people haveposted about weird time based disabling of internet connect with no reason for it. After going through a few threads, and I can be way off, I suspect Circle. With that said, reboot your Orbi system, after disabling Circle, and forget your WIFI network on the Imac and re-login to WIFI on the Imac.

Is mit still not allowing access at the same time? If so it is software or switch based.

I've connect to another wifi hotspot and Internet works immediately for the machine.
Hence, it is relating to Orbi or Circle. Could not find any settings in the Orbi admin page to limit time access for client.
