Circle with Disney on RAX80

I purchased a RAX80 today from Best Buy to replace my R7000, which had Circle with Disney. Circle with Disney offers AMAZING parental controls. The RAX80 does not come with Circle with Disney. It's going back to the store and I will purchase a different router that has Circle with Disney. As a parent, I will not live without Circle with Disney. Netgear--please get on the stick on add Circle with Disney to the RAX80. Please!!! I will re-purchase a RAX80 as soon as it comes with CIrcle with Disney!!!

    Update: I bought a Circle Home Plus external device from BestBuy for $69. It worked with the Netgear RAX80 router just fine. Fully compatible. It came with a 3-month subscription. After that the Circle subsription is $9.99 per month, but worth every penny for the outstanding parental controls offered. So if anyone out there wants Circle on their RAX80 router--just buy the external Circle Home Plus device. It has a gigabyte ethernet port, and I've run speedtests and it has not slowed down the network at all. I have teens who are gamers, and they would not stand for that. The RAX80 is not listed as a compatible device on Circle's website, but the Circle device installed just fine and is fully compatible with the RAX80. I would still PREFER for Circle to be integrated into the router so I don't have to have ANOTHER device taking up space with wires and plugs. But I'm happy for now.
