Please post over in the Orbi with built in modem forum for you model product:

The CBR7 series is very new and probably doesn't include this feature and may later on. My CBK40 didn't come with Circle however eventually NG added it.

For any Circle/Parental control support, please post in the Circle forum for that feature.
