Why No Circle for RBR750 or other Wifi6 Routers??
I've had my RBR750 for months now, and there still is no word on an implementation of the Circle app for it. It was an expensive router, and i thought it would come with that feature right out of th...
I am beyond frustrated with this router. Over $400 for a system that just relays traffic? No parental controls is appalling and a very shady sales tactic because like others I saw the circle plug and thought this would work. Get it together netgear.
Considering there are posts from 8/2 that mention owning the router for months with no change, I wouldn't hold your breath. I've been keeping tabs on this topic and there's been no change. Purely speculation, but my guess is they don't want to keep spending the licensing fee for a third party service and the in-house development process hit serious problems.
I returned mine—Netgear customer service didn't bat an eye when I told them why. To their credit, it was one of the smoothest RMA processes. They got that part right at least.
I picked up one of the new eero Pro 6 wifi6 packages and it's working exactly as expected. The parental controls aren't as good as Circle or Gryphon, IMO, but at least they 1) are present 2) work and 3) don't mess up the rest of the router's functionality. Your mileage may vary, of course.
