XR500 and Circle compatibility

[DuButler72]

If I purchased the new Disney circle box, will it be compatible with my Nighthawk XR 500? Also, does using the Disney circle device inhibit any of the nighthawks functionality and performance?

I don't believe circle is supporting of XR series routers. I would not introduce something that can inhibit gaming performances.

As above, I would assume in order to correctly control devices you'd have to do modem > circle > XR500 which would mean you'd lose a lot of the benefits of the XR500.
