This app should support all Netgear WiFi boosters. So, the app does work thankfully but I have some qualms with it. There are other routers on the market that have parental controls built in and on several models. I fully expected Netgear to upgrade the better routers but that has not happened in well over 2 years. I hate that I had to buy the more expensive model without the parental controls I wanted because the router with the controls didn’t work in my house. I am aware that Circle is available on certain Nighthawk routers, but not all and the one that it is available on is far inferior to the product I have. It would be nice if my router did those things so I would not have to buy yet another router to get that capability.
This is the concept with products like Circle. I would also like to see a time limit for certain devices. Then I could “unpause” them before they are actually connected. I would really like to see all devices that have an IP address assigned to them in my device list. The Nighthawk app is ok, but it doesn’t have a refresh for when my kids are turning on theirs devices to be “unpaused”, so I still use the Genie app. I have been using the Netgear Genie app for a couple of years.
