Do you have a screen capture of this "family service"?
Something I've not seen with mine...
Did you try the downgrade method that one user found to work yet?

I’m seeing a bunch of Orbi routers pop up on Facebook market place now. I wonder why?
Also, I like how when I go to manage devices in the Orbi app, I’m forced to set up the stupid family service. My legal service is looking into this.

Forgot the name of it but it’s the service this update was pushed out to sell us on. Apparently now I’m forced to use it

Had you had this before or is this the first time?
Yes SPC was activated after v4 FW came out. I presume if you activate the trial again, it should not appear again?
- intergeek14Aug 25, 2021StarRight but as I stated I don’t want the service. It’s pay for service.

Has the trial already expired?
I would contact NG about this and see what the deal is. Maybe something they can effect for you and change...Seems like if the trial exprired and users don't want to continue the service, they should be able to opt out and avoid the nag window.
