R8000P & Circle

Hi, Online literature seems to suggest that the R8000P supports Circle. I’ve set up my new router but cannot get it to work. Am I missing something? Or is Circle not supported yet? Thanks, Dan.

        Circle implementation on other router models are still problematic.
        That was why NG is hesitant to include it in additional models.

      Hi i am nw to this community. I need to replace my old wndr3700  Netgear router
      I was intending to replace by R8000P BUT I do need Circle for parental control.
      My preference is R8000P instead of the older R8000. The R8000P is 64 bit chip architecture, and
      you buy a new router for more then 1 or 2 years. So R8000P has preferences above R8000
      Is there already Beta FW for the R8000P?
      Is there any idea how long it will take before Circle will work with R8000P?
      When the Beta FW is already there, I will buy the R8000P and i am willing to test the FW and give
      feedback to the development team. (I am working in the IT industry and am used to work like this)

      Greetings,
      Cor

        Not very sure how long you have to wait until NG really implement Circle on R8000P. Not even sure whether that option is a wise one, until NG really figure it out the very existing problem with wireless disconnection on R8000P.

        Not sure whether there is a beta FW, neither.

        Things are still in limbo for R8000P.

        I personally acquired a used one from one of the forumers here with known fw problem to try to mess around with. So far unsuccessful due to my time restraint committing to other NG project. I will resume my task with R8000P soon.

        In short, please do not expect any progress regarding Circle implementation on R's routers (except the ones already have). NG parental controls features does not fare very well, including open DNS.

        My R8000 works perfectly fine, with no internet loss problem and any other problems at all, using recent older fw,
