This is helpful (I think).
1) SPC replaces Circle? I did not know this and that would explain why Circle no longer works
2) I don't see an option to enable SPC in the web UI but I do see the option in the App. It does not appear to have free version or even a trial version correct?
3) Does SPC effective while off the Orbi wifi or only when on the wifi? I would prefer to have a control mechanism that works regardless of the network it is connected to.
I am on 2.7.3.22 on my RBK50 system and it still runs Circle. My Circle subscription is good until November. I don't see anything on SPC that really makes me want to switch over so I'll wait until it gets closer before I decide.
SPC and Circle 1st Gen are working and present on v22 on my RBR50:
Mine had been enabled back on v104. v22 was applied over v104 and I had never done a factory reset, only a full power OFF of the RBR50. So it's been on there since v104. And it's SPC. SPC however is managed by the Circle 1st gen app. So when Parental Controls appear on the Orbi App and you tab that tile, it opens the Circle 1st gen app or if you don't have it installed, it should direct you to install it.
