Is this a "free trial" or an actual subscription?
Did you activate Circle or the new SPC version?
When you configured the RBR850 after the Factory Reset, was this using the Orbi "app" or using the Orbi web interface (http://orbilogin.net)
I can see how the Orbi app will remember settings. The web interface should come up with Circle/SPC not activated.
Following fatory reset I configured the network via the app. I believe that I also deleted the Orbi app and reinstalled the app after the factory reset.
We Luddites always use the web interface.
I, myself, got into a strange state where I had never activated Parental Controls, but every time I opened the damn app it wanted me to "Complete the configuration". Was like a 10 gallon enema fixing that situation.
SPC is a 'free trial' of the premium service.
I accidentally activated 'Smart Parental Controls Premium Free Trial' - or at least that's what the Netgear email confirmation says.
