issue on redirecting site

When I attempt to access a reputable website, I am redirected and encounter an unknown error.

 

There doesn't seem to be a way around this, and since Circle doesn't support my Orbi RBR850, I have no idea why I keep getting redirected through meet circle-netgear.com. Any ideas as to what's happening? Has anyone else seen this?

 

Since they first made the functionality available, my entire experience with parental controls has been a nightmare. Remember when I could simply toggle device access on and off? (MAC address). Making it simple to use only made it very simple for kids to research how to turn off parental controls, disrupting the network for everyone else.

  • what modem do you have? 

    What firmware is on it? 

    What actual error is it? 

    Why or what is redirecting? 

    Have you tried a different dns? 

    Try a different DNS Server. Here's a few for ipv4. Also remember to change the ipv6 dns server if ipv6 is enabled
    CloudFlare 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
    GoogleDNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
