RBR40 - Circle stopped working
So a few things are now an issue. Firstly, I have an RBR40 - when I go to support pages, I don't see that model listed at all. Why? This support form I'm using to post this very question asks for a model number and RBR40 is also not listed in the options I must choose from.
Secondly, I had Circle working fine for about 8 months and noticed today that it's no longer working. It's enabled on the router, but the app is wanting to enable it, as if it's a net-new setup.
If I go through the process of enabling it via the app it fails (it's already enabled on the router so that's perhaps not a surprise). If I disable Circle on the router and then use the app, it still fails, but with a different error.
"Something went wrong please try again to enable circle". I've deleted the Circle app, tried again, no joy.
It was all working fine until sometime recently - I have no way of knowing exactly when it stopped working. I can only hope my kids haven't been accessing content I don't want them seeing! Not a happy customer.
I'm reading elsewhere on the internet and in other forums that a firmware update may have broken it. There was a firmware update a few weeks ago - perhaps this is the issue. I'm running V2.6.2.104.
I have a paid Circle subscription I cannot use, and I have two young children I can no longer protect while on the internet - the primary reason I purchased NetGear...
Any help will be greatly received.
Thanks
DB
