Hi Sonya808,
Hope you're doing well! May you confirm the firmware version your router is currently on for us to better assist.

Thank you, Christian, for replying - The firmware is V1.0.11.110_2.1.38.1 . The blurb appeared with the latest firmware update. I contacted Mozilla support for Circle about removal. They ignored my question. I scoured the web. Some people advised to roll back to original factory defaults. That seems self-defeating. The firmware updates are for a good purpose.
