Hi Spiffy2Man,
1. What is the firmware version of the R7000?
2. What is the operating system (Android or iOS) of the device that you used to configure the Circle settings?
3. Does the issue (wrong filtering) persist on all your devices?
4. Have you tried resetting the router?

Same things are happening with us. At first Safe Search set Google Safe Search on all devices. Recently, that has stopped working on all devices. Then, even more recently, the Ad Blocking filter is no longer working. As we are paying Circle for their premium features, I am quite upset that there seems to be nowhere to get support or even report issues.
