NETGEAR adds Circle support to select routers

Circle’s ARP spoofing based Internet monitoring and control scheme is an interesting way to keep tabs on what your kids are doing with their devices. Previously, to make it work you had to add their $100 hardware device inside your network. Now, if you have one of the R7000 routers that NETGEAR is supporting you can play with the tech for free. Hard to see this as anything but a bonus, and a big one at that. Worst case, you don’t use it. Network OEMs rarely add significant features to their kit, great to see NETGEAR adding something as significant as this to an “ancient” system. Hopefully, others will get the upgrade as well.
