The orbi app gives an error message when armor trys to load, and the app doesn't even show a security window. I have taken the app off of my phone and reinstalled it with the same results. Any other option for getting Armor to recognize my Orbi Router?

Hi All,
Can someone please confirm when the ORBI RBK852 router will receieve a firmware update to enable circle? Ive just bought this system but am extremely dissapointed it does not (as yet) support circle parentla controls. Ive been using circle for a couple of years now on a nighthawk (and still paying for the Circle service) and was more than dissapointed to find the ORBI RBK852 system does not yet have this functionality. I just presumed it would being a new top of the line router. Many thanks

Orbi AX isn't currently supporting Circle in it's FW. Was one post that NG was supposidly going to supporting in some future FW. No time frame on when that will happen. NG doesn't put forth when new features are forth coming in new FW.
Something to contact NG support about or post over in the Circle forum:

Good Luck.
