Hi all,
Circle support for Orbi will be available in future updates but no ETA is available.

Hi all,
All our routers are compatible and will work with the Circle box.
We earlier this week released on just Nighthawk AC2300 Smart WiFi Router [R7000P] a new firmware that integrates the Circle functionality, so that customers can manage internet content and time across all their devices without the need for the separate Circle Box.

I was wondering when will they?, or have they already released the firmware update with the circle with Disney for the R7500v2?? or can i somehow update my firmware with the one that is from the R7000P??
if I would have known that the R7000P (AC2300)was going to come out with the Circle app i would have bought that one instead of my R7500v2(AC2350)
the two routers are not all that differnt from each other that i can see.. i dont see why the firmware from the one wont work on the other... makes me wonder why they have differnt firmware to begin with..

Hi rybickirj,
As it stands, the R7500v2 is not supported by the Circle app. Different router models have different firmware since they differ hardware wise.
