Orbi loses internet connection when Circle is enabled

I have have an RBR40 and two RBS20 satellites. I’d really like to use the included Circle parental controls, but whenever I enable the feature the router inevitably loses internet connection. As soon as disable Circle the connection starts working again. This issue has persisted through every firmware update and factory reset I’ve tried. I’m not sure what else to try at this point. Any ideas would greatly appreciated. I’m currently in FW 2.3.1.58. Thanks!

I'm having the same issue, and it's driving me nuts. Ever since the last update (I'm on 2.3.1.60 currently) things have been terrible and I can't manually set my own DNS when the Internet IP is set to Get Dynamically from ISP without disabling Circle?

@DexterJB I think I got it. Backup and factory reset seemed to do the trick. Thanks

I’ve tried a full reset and unfortunately still have the same issue. Things work fine as long as Circle is not turned on, but as soon as I enable Circle the same issue comes back.

Dang. I'm wondering if Circle is causing some issues in the newest update because whenever I turned it off it seemed to work but now that I have reset it keeps prompting me to turn it on when I log in to the router. I turn it on, then next time I log in it prompts again.
