Circle will not work with Nighthawk R7000P
I just purchased a Nighthawk R7000P router specifically to use the Circle features to manage kids devices. does this even work? it seems like it's DOA out of the box. The Circle will not configure....

thanks
- the Comcast model is an X B6-T. It's their default gigabit modem/router at least here in the SF bay area.
I will work on flipping the Comcast router to Bridge mode this evening and see if that gets it running!

Okay, I enabled bridge mode on Comcast modem, which disabled its integrated Router
And, i restored the default IP on the Nighthawk to 10.0.0.1 thereby I believe eradicating the "rat's nest"
now the setup is:
Internet > Comcast modem (no router) > Nighthawk as router and DHCP server > iMac (ethernet0
and I've also connected my iPhone running iOS 14.4
Result: exactly the same outcome. Parental controls pops up a circle page on my iPhone that says "Darn, couldn't find Circle on your router"
