Hello NETGEAR Community!
We just released a patch this morning that should resolve this issue. I was also impacted by this error and can confirm, once I attempted to enable Smart Parental Controls (SPC) again and followed the pompts it worked as expected.
If you haven't done so already, please log into your Orbi app and tap the Smart Parental Controls tile to enable this feature.
If anyone is still having an issue with activation please let me know and we can continue to debug this issue further.
I appreciate everyone for your effort and patience in getting this issue resolved.
Best Regards,
Christine T.

Same issue. "SPC-ACT-FAIL".
Also no pricing info when I activated or a method of cancelation. But first thing is first. THE ACTIVATION IS NOT WORKING!!!! Waited a year + for this product. Comeon Netgear get it together.
