Circle 1st gen on RBR50 V. 2.7.3.22 question
Hi, just wondering if it is worth trying enabling Circle again? I bought this mesh system mainly because of the Circle feature, but had to remove circle and factory resert the router, becaus ecircle was causing problems. This was 2 years ago. Is it safe to give it a new try with basic features (free) first? Do I need to upgrade my fw further? Can I easily remove Circle if I start getting problems again? Or do I have to do a full factory reset and reinstall (time consuming on 3 nodes)?
If a factory reset is needed you can just load the backup from file and be up and running with out having to re-configure everything.

Is it safe to give it a new try with basic features (free) first? Yes. It's what I use. Do I need to upgrade my fw further? No. Can I easily remove Circle if I start getting problems again? Yes. Or do I have to do a full factory reset and reinstall (time consuming on 3 nodes)? Thought it maybe needed. It's best to have a back upconfig file saved with prior enabling Circle or Armor, then have a back up config file saved with after Circle or Armor enabled.
ok. But why do I need a backup of the config after enabling circle? I have enabled it now, and as last time I got a problem with a Home profile device (PS4), but I moved it tio "Unmanaged" and then it worked.
By the way, what is the difference between:
-Remove it from Home
-Unmanaged
-Remove from Circle
