Loss of internet after enabling Circle by Disney on R7000
I enabled Circle by Disney on the R7000 but then started experiencing internet dropouts. I have rebooted the router and the problem goes away for about an hour before dropping the internet again. ...
So circle causes internet slowdown and internet dropping. Just disabling circle brings back full speed and no reboot needed.
OpenDNS doesn’t work consistently, partially it seems because my devices use ipv6 which they don’t provide web filtering for and secondly since custom filtering levels doesn’t work and you just get basic.
Frustrated. May need to go back to tomato and my script to map OpenDNS to certain devices by MAC address.
Hope they can fix circle. I like how it works in theory better.

I have been using Circle for the last few months and too have been having the loss of internet problem. For me it doesn't happen daily, but at least weekly. First I started to reboot my cable modem and router, then just the router, and now just a disable/re-enable Circle (via the router admin pages) only takes a few moments, but a hassle. Next time I will try via the Circle App. From the LAN then from the WAN and see if I can do this remotely.
I am on the lastest version of the firmware and this is the version info from the circle page:
Agent Version: 2.0.6.3
App Database Version: 1.2.4
Netgear are you listening? This is a freeium service and if the basic version is buggy, what makes you think I will upgrade to the paid version.....
