Circle down

Been using Parental Controls (on Netgear) for years, and had trouble with stable network connections (and certificate issues (Circles technique for controlling traffic) the last few days. After disabling Parental Controls (to restore internet connectivity), the option to re-enable the feature is greyed out?

 

NighthawkNighthawk X6 R8000 

Firmware Version
V1.0.4.84_10.1.84

and 

NighthawkNighthawk X6 R7850  (AP Mode to above router)

Firmware Version
V1.0.5.84_10.1.84

I have the premium Circle App so a refund may be in order if they are discontinuing services.

 

Netgear team response feedback needed - as I have read articles about Circle going away as a feature offering?

    The mobile app is the only way to control Armor or SPC now days.
