help Circle Home Smart Wi-Fi System (Basic) FAQ
Can Circle Home enforce a bedtime such as no screens after 9 PM?
Circle's Bedtime feature is designed to schedule when a family profile goes offline, and Circle Home Plus can apply controls across devices on the home network. Devices must be correctly assigned to a family profile for the rule to affect them.
Does Circle Home Plus require a subscription?
Circle Home Plus bundles a Circle subscription, with the included period depending on the package, such as three months or one year. The app also offers trial and paid plans, so a listing described as Basic should not be assumed to include every filtering or history feature permanently for free.
Which devices can Circle Home manage?
Circle Home Plus can manage devices on the home network, including phones, computers, smart TVs, and game consoles. Managing a child's mobile device away from home generally requires the Circle app installed on the iOS or Android device.
Is the newer Circle app compatible with the first-generation Circle device?
Circle's support documentation says the newer Circle Parental Controls app and Circle Home Plus are not compatible with first-generation Circle hardware. Check whether the listing is for Circle Home, Circle Home Plus, or Circle on NETGEAR before assuming the apps and subscription will work.
