    WOW, that is completely insane price. I bought it when it was $69. but I guess it is an obsolete model. I found that even though mostly it is good to filter or limit your children internet usage, but with teenager, they can always find the way to get around it.

    An amazing device if you want your home wifi range and performance to go to absolute shit! Everything must pass thought this for the filtering to work so it becomes the new wifi router in your house.

    • AustriaBargain on 15/04/2020 - 14:31

      Can you set it so only the kids devices are filtered?

      • Laninchris on 15/04/2020 - 14:51

        Yep you can :)
        We’ve had one for a couple of years now- works with every device, unlike the Family Zone that we bought three or four years ago. (we found the FZ to be particularly crap- unless you’re wealthy enough to buy your kids top of the range devices, it’s really hard to keep the protection consistent- and their help desk/forums offered no solutions after 3 months we gave up. Then we found the Circle- so good!!)
        Basically, with the Circle, you make profiles up for each person with the relevant restrictions/controls, and as you connect each device to your wi-fi, you allocate that device to a person/profile.
        If you don’t want a device to be monitored, you can either leave it unallocated, or allocate the device to a profile that is set with no restrictions.
        We like how flexible the circle is, and the fact that it doesn’t matter how cheap your devices are, it still works because it just acts as a gatekeeper to the WiFi signal

        Yes you can. It will work for a day or two but then you'll find all your other devices will start to slow down, disconnect, drive you insane.

        • MasterScythe on 15/04/2020 - 15:33

          It would depend on your channel width and frequency of your other device.

          If by some bad luck it is brutal to 2.4GHz, run your other router on 5GHz

            @MasterScythe: it's not bandwidth - it's how it processes the ARP table and how many packets it needs to go through.

            • MasterScythe on 15/04/2020 - 19:01

              @bargainshooter: Unless you're Torrenting even devices from dialup days can hold enough records for months if not years of service.

    • stickymoo on 15/04/2020 - 14:51

      Surely you can set it up so only the kids go through it

      • toliman on 16/04/2020 - 12:18

        You would need to blacklist the devices or delete/ force forget the regular wifi on the kids devices, so they don't use the regular wifi, most likely.

        If it's a "repeater" device, you may need to whitelist and blacklist MAC addresses for some devices on your regular router, so the kids don't connect at all if the Circle dies or goes offline.

        In this case, you should probably separate the kids wifi name and the main wifi name.

        YMMV how easy this is.

    There is a monthly subscription fee right?

    • BargainDoubter on 15/04/2020 - 11:59

      $10 a month for "premium" membership. It comes with 12 months included.

    • iwearpants on 15/04/2020 - 14:58

      Correct me if I'm wrong but this appears to be V1, which does not require a subscription.

      Circle is also built-in on certain Orbi routers. I’ve got the RBK50 and my wifi is blazing fast even with Circle active.

      • UltimateAI on 15/04/2020 - 15:39

        That is not the same product as this!!

        • fookos on 15/04/2020 - 23:42
          +3

          It’s the same platform for filtering that’s embedded/integrated in the Orbi but, correct, not a separate piece of kit. You still use the Circle app though for both.

  • BellaWii on 15/04/2020 - 12:12

    Great price if there was stock nearby. Have the previous model, my kids are still young so they accept restrictions but agree as they get older they can/will bypass. It's connected to my Orbi mesh router and it has not affected wifi range or speed.

  • Doctor thrift on 15/04/2020 - 12:19

    The monthly fee is only if you want the plus option which lets you control your kids usage on mobile devices outside your home network. If you just want to control your home wifi it works a treat. I’ve had one for about a year. If you need to inflict a punishment you just hit pause on parents app and the result is instantaneous.

          Settings / Screen Time

          • yht on 15/04/2020 - 13:13

            @jv: In the Circle 1st Gen app, it doesn't have Settings, but it has Manage with no Screen Time. Are you referring to Circle Plus app which you need to pay premium ?

  • Veedub on 15/04/2020 - 13:13

    i have one and its pretty good.
    Wanted to buy another to gift to my family to manage/limit/restrict internet time. Esp after hours when they are supposed to be asleep.

    there probably is a subscription for premium filtering… but it works fine just to limit time.

    … have the data that Disney collects about them added to the data that Google collects which will be added to the data facebook collects and a few hundred other major data aggregators.

    Then the data will be used to control their behavior. Their money will be removed as they "make decisions for themselves". Or how about controlling who they vote for. Which has already been happening for over a decade eg Cambridge Analytica.

    Why not just set the dns settings within your router. Most have this option (or within their devices and then it will be blocked everywhere they go O.o)
    Cloudflare DNS, blocking malware and adult content:

    Primary DNS: 1.1.1.3
    Secondary DNS: 1.0.0.3

    Sure it is easy to bypass… same as this.
    Price = Free + blocks malware

    • OzFrugie on 15/04/2020 - 20:45

      This. Thinking the same thing. Is there advantage of using disney circle over this method?

      • alvian on 15/04/2020 - 21:05
        +1

        Disney Circle uses ARP poisoning, not DNS bypass, and is harder to bypass.

    • toliman on 16/04/2020 - 12:27

      You would need tougher methods to lock kids out and still be able to use the same subnets for broadcast devices, ie TV and smart devices.

      Or, put them on a separate "guest" wifi and wired "guest" VLAN with all the settings locked down and set up a pihole for ads/malware/adult content blocking, depending on your routers options.

      Lots of options, but the Circle option is manageable and updated by others, so YMMV.
