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...

Ok. Here we are in January of 2021 and I don't see that this issue has been addressed by Netgear. I have to manually turn the devices on and off when I could schedule them on my old router. Very disappointing. Has anyone figured out a workaround until Netgear can get these basic parental controls on their entire Orbi line?

As others have stated I too want to display my frustration! Based on the info you get from this page Parental Controls you see a robust parental control package for Netgear routers including Orbi. There is NOTHING indicating the AX series are not compatible.
I thought at a minimum the "Basic" free option would match my free Linksys system I am replacing. Nope, and I can't stomach $10/mo for something I have had for free and as a feature of the product.
When I get home tonight I guess I will check out the www.orbilogin.com link (while connected to the Orbi router - not remotely) and see what options I can enable. It you can block websites and services. But my problem with this is what if I am not at home and want to enable or disable something? I can via the app, but not the web link....grrrrr
Friggin fix this Netgear! I didn't even think to look to the forums to see this issue. Or give us the premium for a year (while you figure something out) without us resorting to a class action lawsuit to get it!

I know this is the community to try and solve issues and that Netgear may or may not see it so I tried to go to the actual Netgear website to lodge this complaint so it might get better attention. I don't even see anything where you can review their routers much less lodge a complaint?? Who does that nowadays? Not happy at all! Looks like I'll have to CALL customer service to lodge a complaint. UNACCEPTABLE!!

Pretty sure that monthly cost won't even allow you full functionality - ethernet connected devices I don't think are covered unless you buy the standalone Circle Plus device. Even then, your performance will take a major hit. This is such an epic / colossal UFCK up by NG.
