Circle on cellular data

I have set up Circle with my Netgear router (2 months old) and am paying a monthly subscription to enable device shutdowns at bedtime and to filter content for my kids.  However when we were away on holiday I realised that it doesn't work unless we are on our home wifi in which case the kids can simply use their devices on cellular data when 'shut off'.  Any ways around this??

    Same question here. We are tired of having to pick up our sons phone every night. WiFi turns off but then he can still use cellular data.

      Hello captainpease - This is by design and Circle features work for devices connected to the router's WiFi network.
