Reduced bandwidth with Disney Circle
I tried enabling Circle with Disney. I have seen a 30-35% drop in bandwidth when in use. If I switch back to using OpenDNS performance reverts to normal levels. Anyone else noticed this? I am run...

Same issue here, I was looking if someone did a post about that when I found this one. I was getting 5Mbps, and didn't think about Circle on Netgear at first, so I contacted Comcast. The guy came and did a hard reset of the router (R7000). Back to 300Mbps! I re-configured all my local LAN and stuff, still getting 300Mbps. I re-enable Circle and reset my phone app. Starts to add 10 devices-ish, I'm now down to 150Mbps (I had around 40 devices, seems the more devices the slower). Disable Circle (not even rebooting the router), back to 3000Mbps.
I like Circle, but if the router is not able to follow, I might buy the real Circle box.
Disappointing.

Seems there is a lot of discussion around that...
