Circle seems to be randomly killing Internet ingress/egress from my Orbi starting this week
I have an RBR50 with two satellites. I have had Circle enabled for a number of months now with little issue. We actually use it quite a bit to limit electronics time for the kids. Starting this...

Happy to confirm that two months later, that Disney Circle is operating just fine. No problems.
I have complained about this same exact issue since July 2019. I got 2 cases closed by netgear without any resolution except "We are working on a fix in the next firmware release"
An absolute waste of time and money!
I have the same apparent issue. Everything was fine for a couple of years, then (right when we all get locked down with the kids), starts "crashing" every day or two. Ridiculous. I replaced the modem, figuring that was the issue, no change. Tried disabling bridge-mode on the new modem, no change. Just found this thread, and turned off Circle, and seems OK so far.
Is there a known-good firmware that doesn't crash? (I'm on V2.5.1.8). I feel pretty uncomfortable with the kids on unfiltered internet while they are at home 24/7. This is ON YOU, Netgear!
