STATUS UPDATE?: Parental Controls for Nighthawk RAX series

Can anyone from Netgear comment on if/when we can expect parental controls and/or built-in Circle? I recall reading (I believe on Amazon reviews) that Circle was in the process of rolling out to RAX series routers. Is that still the case? Love my new RAX200, but in the world we find ourselves in (home schooling), the lack of parental controls (without spending another $200 on a stand-alone Circle Home Plus) is a serious problem.

        George302 - We are always expanding our list of routers to support Circle Parental Controls. At this moment, we currently do not have any further details on the RAX45 support the feature.
