NG is clearly involved in false advertising than I intend to be very vocal about. For one they don’t have parental control be competition. Fine they partner with Circle. But for thei higher end device (WiFi 6) then don’t even enable that. Consumer is not informed about that either. Infact so many places they set expectations of parental control being enabled. Please don’t say crappy access control = parental control
The Circle Smart Parental Controls feature is slowly being rolled out to the new models. However, we do not have visibility on firmware and feature updates as well as any ETA. We will take note of your feedback and have it forwarded to the team.
I dont' see any advertising of Circle on the Orbi AX web site.

It clearly identifies Orbi mesh routers as supporting this functionality. Nothing on this page or the linked page calls out that this is limited to certain Orbi models. The pages are misleading the reader to believe that all Orbi routers are supported,
This is clearly false advertising, especially without an ETA.
Due to this dubious nature of NG, I was very happy to return the ORBI back. I bought Google NESt WiFi. It was cheaper, great performance and has fantastic parental controls that too without paying a third party for it.
Asking consumers to sit and wait as a support response is equally negligent on part of Netgear.
