Orbi AX4200 (RBK752) and Circle Support
The following is a dramatization of my recent NETGEAR Orbi AX4200 (RBK752) purchase… (Spoiler: Not a good one) Boss (Wife): The kids have total and complete free access to the internet and even...

Does the default standard access controls work any?
If you want or need Circle, I recommend you find a RBK50 series Orbi system that does support Circle and Armor.
We don't know IF or when Orbi AX will be getting Circle support.

I know there are other NETGEAR options out there but I was not interested in them. I don't feel this is a case where I (the customer having been made a commitment) should be required to accept a solution were NETGEAR dosn't at least make an effort to fix the problem. If they have another option/product that does not require me to down grade I am more than happy to listen.
If by standard access controls you mean turning off the individual devices access manually, then yes. If not, I don't think so.

Well, you have it then.
You'll need to manually block access until such time as NG makes Circle supported on Orbi AX. Something you can discuss with them.

Again, no idea if or when Circle is forth coming to Orbi AX.
Good Luck.

Change the DNS servers to a Child safe one! just as good as using circle.
eg I use
185.228.168.10
185.228.169.11
See cleanbrowsing DNS filters https://cleanbrowsing.org/filters
Enjoy problem resolved.

Thank you for letting us know a work around solution. Glad it works for you. Hopefully it will help others that are wanting Circle support.
:smileywink:
Users can also use DDNS servers as well and make configurations on there site. Services like OpenDNS is one.
