'Circle Home Plus' should be more like 'Circle Home Minus'
This is the newest release of the Circle device. Our family has happily been using two of the original Circle devices for a couple of years now. Overall, our experience with the first gen device has been outstanding. It works and it works well. However, its limited to 100Mbps, so I was excited when they released this, newer version, which has a 1Gbps NIC. At least...I was excited until I realized they took all the best features of the first gen Circle and stuck them behind a $10/month pay wall.
Yes, that's right -- all those wonderful features like setting bed times or limits on your kids screen time are now stuck behind a $10/month pay wall. And that sucks.
I'll stick with my first-gen Circle for another few years.
