Do I have to own a Disney circle to connect the parental controls to my orbi router?

[TomMac]

Some routers from Netgear have it built in...( no external device needed ) ;

Partnering with NETGEAR, we've made it possible for you to use Circle on your router without the need for any additional hardware! The following NETGEAR routers currently have Circle embedded within, and need no additional equipment.

Yeah if you have one of those Orbi's it's built in, but you have to ge the app from Google Play or Apple App Store.  And that will cost you $5 per month.  But no extra hardware needed.
