Who Me Too'd this topic

The Orbi is one of the most expensive routers on the market, albeit with high-end functionality. Unfortunately, however, with the introduction of the firmware v 2.1.1.12, parental controls beyond basic filtering cost an additional $4.99 per month via Disney Circle (http://www.netgear.co.uk/landings/circle/). Even as I write this, I cannot believe that Netgear is expecting its customers to pay for functionality that other manufacturers include as standard.

If you do not need parental controls, the Orbi may be the perfect solution, but for me, I'm sending the kit back to Amazon for a refund. I will not be looking to purchase anything else from Netgear in a hurry!
