For parental controls Orbi has been completely silent other than a post from Christian_R to stay tuned - they told us to use Circle for the controls but there's no integration between circle and the router.

I have filed a better business bureau complaint because I can't wait any longer and I want a refund of my $749 (tax included) + $99 circle subscription - all purchases were based on false advertising. I'm going to buy the eero 6.
Christian_R --- any word on the parental controls that were removed from this router? I'd like them back, it's stifling not having the appropriate controls that I purchased!!!
