Circle Premium no longer working

As of 11/12 Circle is no longer blocking websites based on settings. The visited and filtered history are also no longer populating. And off times are no longer respected.

Hello Peytonloki, 

 

May you power cycle your router and reinstall the Circle app. 

 

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply Christian.  I've done both of those things, as well as taken updates on router as well.

Hi Peytonloki, 

 

May you factory reset your router by holding down on the reset button for 15+ seconds using a pin/needle. You will need to run through the setup assistant again and you may do so using the Orbi app.

When I do that, I receive the following:

Based on your serial number and purchase date, NETGEAR can offer you the following support options

I can’t open a ticket without paying for support. This doesn’t appear to be an issue limited to my experience, since I’m seeing multiple reports of Circle Premium features not working by various users.

Re: Circle Premium no longer working

Funny thing is that as of today the history and usage started working, but now when I have any filter at all selected, it blocks sites it shouldn't be blocking.  Found this out when the kids tried to get on their school websites for class.

Same issue here.  Suddenly blocked school portal so I had to move his Chromebook to my profile to get it to work, and as of today, premium is back to not working at all (showing the "upgrade to premium" stuff again).  Very frustrating.  This Circle on an Orbi.
