All our routers are compatible and will work with the Circle box.
We earlier this week released on just Nighthawk AC2300 Smart WiFi Router [R7000P] a new firmware that integrates the Circle functionality, so that customers can manage internet content and time across all their devices without the need for the separate Circle Box.
I was wondering when will they?, or have they already released the firmware update with the circle with Disney for the R7500v2?? or can i somehow update my firmware with the one that is from the R7000P??
if I would have known that the R7000P (AC2300)was going to come out with the Circle app i would have bought that one instead of my R7500v2(AC2350)
the two routers are not all that differnt from each other that i can see.. i dont see why the firmware from the one wont work on the other... makes me wonder why they have differnt firmware to begin with..
I would like to ask about Circle Box. Do You think that is the best way to protect childrens in net. Of course that Premium looks so nice. But how this Circle Box for example in R7000 influance on routers work.
I'm looking at the same thing, but put off with having to pay $5 for premium service ongoing...i thi nk we'd all be better off buying the circle box for $88 (current price at amazon) - it will have paid for itself in 18months...by which time I may have bought a new router anyway! 🙂
Netgear - why not offer a 2nd unlocking code for the firmware to take it to premium without the $5 monthly charge? Maybe charge a one-off $40?
I had a n7000 and it just got Disney circle downloaded to the firmware. I was so exited that I could track and put limits on my kids. I just bought a n9000 and to my Suprise it doesn’t have the firmware update for the circle. Is this something that is coming in the near future?
It is a complete shame that they charge a subscription for this. We purchased an AC1900 specifically because it included the Disney Circle, just to find out that it isn't "really" included. To get the full feature-set that you get with the real Disney Circle, you are REQUIRED to pay the subscription. Just like @toomanybarts said, after a few months, you could have just purchased the real thing...
In this scenario, you will be paying a lot more over time for this service.
This is highway robbery and Netgear should care more for the people who invest a lot in their products. We plan on returning our router and purchase the "real" fully-enabled Disney Circle.
