So I have been working with Support and we factory reset the router, set it back up, turned on Circle and tested it out. This all worked fine for a couple of weeks but has slowly degraded over time and is now intermittently doing the same thing as previous. I have rebooted the router numerous times but it continues to drop internal connections and get itself into a state.
We will most likely turn Circle back off again as this solution was solid, as sad as it is t lose the functionality of the Circle service. If we find a fix I will update this thread.

Thanks for the update chris_v .
Same here, my problems started after a few weeks after enablng Circle.
I disabled Circle (and the built-in ORBI parental controls) and the problems immediately disappeared.
Hoping for some update soon.

I reported on this junk MONTHS ago.
All you will get is private messages from the bafoons wanting you to be their beta testers. DON'T DO IT! They have had a YEAR to fix this garbage!
