Circle is useless on R7000 here is why

If you are buying a NETGEAR R7000 Nighthawk Dual-Band AC1900 for its parental control features , do not do it ! Teenagers will reset the router back to its factory settings by simply pressing the reset button at the back of the router. It will take them 1 second to remove effectively all parental restrictions on phones and laptops.

  • Amazing, kids are so smart LOL. When I have it right, the "old" Netgear LPS system was locked, and a factory reset did not removed the config - we had to request the service provider to release the device from the control. Conclude, here we have a big step back. ChristineT - one more issue to carry forward to the top management.
