Orbi RBK753 Parental Controls
It appears the new Orbi Wifi 6 Mesh Routers doesn't come with Circle Parental Control features... Not sure why? I'm currently using Google Wifi and looking to switch to the new Orbi Wifi 6 Mesh RBK75...
For those of us who have Circle Plus and using it with the Orbi AX units, it looks like Circle has updated their compatibility list on their website with the following information:
⚠︎ Orbi RBR850, RBK852, and RBK853 (We are investigating issues with these routers)
https://support.meetcircle.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022419752
The above two updates weren't there a few months back ago if I recall.
Earlier this morning, I noticed my 1 Gbps Fios network was literally *CRAWLING*. Fast.com and speedtest were showing that the download speeds were less than 1 Mbps even though the Orbi speed test on the app showed it was fine. But everything was lethargic and slow. Rebooted the RBR and both RBS (I have an RBK853) but that didn't help.
As a hunch, I rebooted my Circle Plus device (running in compatibility mode) and that everything was back to normal after that.
I have reached out to Circle support for an update, and this is what they have to say. Per "Holden H. - Circle:
After looking into this, there currently is no update on this known issue or a ETA on this update. Once this issue has been updated we will also be updating it on our article as well."
I have requested them to escalate the issue.
