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 second the need for Smart Parental Controls on the RBR750. Extremely frustrating and the orbi website is misleading.
When I was within my initial support window, I recevied this message from suppor on 2020-07-15:
"Circle with Disney is no longer available and will be replaced by NETGEAR Smart Parental Controls. About the Circle 2nd Gen. we don't have the app or hardware version to all Nighthawk/Orbi router for this. Netgear stopped already on the Circle 1st Gen as there was already a plan of replacing it. If you wanted to still use the RBR750 you can contact Circle as they have a physical device that can be added to your Orbi WiFi 6 Mesh router."
Then in response to when Smart Parental Control would be availalbe 2020-07-18:
"the Circle with Disney can still be used but this latest model of Orbi Mesh WiFi 6 router - RBR750 is currently not supporting any Parental Control features. For the Smart Parental Control's ETA possibly be after next month. Routers currently supporting Circle with Disney - https://kb.netgear.com/000044718/Which-NETGEAR-routers-support-Circle-Smart-Parental-Controls"
Well, looks like Netgear missed that month window. Netgear the Orbi router system is quite good for wifi. Software - not good.
Next month was 6 months ago. Come on NETGEAR???
Last August Netgear told me that parental controls were on the way. I'm starting to think they lied to me. Bought mine at Costco. So may go ahead and return them. Netgear does your view this issue as important. Their competition does. Fairly simple equation there.
