Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

People either love or hate this product. I love it. Works awesome. Not cleaning room? Boom internet off. Fighting? Boom internet off. The problem most people will have and not be able to overcome is setup. Not as much on the circle part but identifying what is what and what device belongs to a person so you can assign it. Take the time to set this up properly and it’s a gem. A few hints: when circle detects devices it will put them all in a group for moving to peoples and kids profiles you create. The difficulty is some are listed with manufacturer name and a MAC address. In laments terms, you’ll see something call Ziojuang device with a MAC address of 0F:01:B1:C2:AF:DD. How are you supposed to know what that is or where it goes? This is where you take your time in setup. If you go to your child’s device, or basically any of the devices, and go to its wireless or network setup menu, some portion of that menu should list its MAC address. Match those numbers to the device in circle. Rename the strange named device in circle to Brads IPad or whatever. If you can’t find a menu, you can always use free safe pc software to do this function. iPad, droid, and iPhone all have apps for this as well. I personally use an app called Fing scanner. It will scan your network for all devices, list all IP addresses and Mac addresses and provide much more detailed information about the device which allows for easier identification and renaming within circle. Once you get this all done properly it’s a golden product. Another helpful tip, is to take all the devices which serve no purpose in the need to be blocked and or filtered and move them to the unmanaged group. You don’t want utility devices being touched by this product. Take your Camera systems, and your nest cameras, your other routers, your network access points, smart fridge, whatever and move them to unmanaged.
