Orbi RBR850 - Circle gen 1 or gen 2?

[pandabe4r]

I have recently purchased the Orbi Wifi 6 RBR850. I see there is an option in the Orbi app to purchase Circle’s parental control subscription, but it is unclear if this version is the older 1st gen version of Circle or the newer 2nd gen version.

Also, does anyone know what the difference between the two generations are?

My understanding is that the AX products support the 'new' Smart Parental Controls, and not Circle.

(I am often confused, but that's my impression)

I must confess that I have never enabled any form of Parental Controls ("smart" or otherwise).  Parents attempting to shelter their children from the worst of the Internet have my sincere sympathy. Bless you for trying.
