Since Armor or Circle isn't fully supported on Orbi AX as of yet, user may want to review this:
"To protect family/kids from malicious Internet content, DNS filtering is simplest defense and it's free. There are quite a few of free/paid DNS filtering services out there, but I find that free DNS filtering service is sufficient for me.
I've tried both services and I found that CleanBrowsing/Adult Filter is best and simplest to setup. However, if you want a nice DNS report, flexibilty (what to block), and speed, stick with CloudFlare Gateway. The setup process is similar for both, just point your router/Orbi DNS servers to their IP addresses. That's it!
Can't you plug a Circle Home Plus into the Orbi AX6000 RBR (router) to get Circle to work? I konw it's not built in but it seems from the Circle website that Orbis are compatible?
Asking as I just ordered my Orbi AX system and was planning to do this. I really rely on Circle for my kids so if this won't work please LMK, but I'm assming it will? (I know you need to subscribe to Circle Home Plus but I'm fine with that.)

I have been using Disney Circle Home Plus with my RBK853, it works fine but you have enable Router Compatibility Mode ON
Does not work if Compatibility Mode is OFF
Also in my experience as soon as they launch Circle for Orbi RBK853, you can turn off Compatibility Mode OFF and it should work without any issue. I have been using Circle Home Plus for a while now, and it works great with kids at home.

I've been having mixed results having Circle Plus working with Orbi AX (RBK853); like you said, it works under compatibility mode, for the most part. Every now and then I'd experience weird issues or symptoms and the fix was to disabling/re-enabling Circle, or rebooting Circle to get it working again.
Circle has updated their router compatibility with the following information. It looks like the RBK7xx (AX4200) series are compatible with Circle Plus under compatibility mode but NOT the RBK8xx (AX6000) series.
