The whole reason I purchased this router is for disney circle because Circle Home had ip address glitches that support could not solve. I have now found out that I have to pay for a service that Circle Home provides for free. I am now returning the Netgear router.

After paying a great deal of money for the Orbi system - I am truly shocked that this functionality is reliant on a costly monthly subscription.
Why is Netgear doing this?
If you want Parental Controls - ah yes we do that - Circle! +monthly sub.
If you want Security - ah yes we do that too, Armor +monthly Sub.
Sure, there's "free" access to Circle - but the power switch is as flexible and as much use.
