Note: On December 31, 2020, Circle Go and the following supporting services will be discontinued:
- Circle Go VPN servers
- Circle Go account services
- The MyCircle mobile app for iOS and Android
Circle Go will not receive further updates unless deemed necessary for security reasons. You will not be billed for Circle Go services in December. Your regular Circle subscription is not affected by this change.
Circle is a parental control technology that helps you monitor your children’s devices that are connected to your network. While you can buy Circle devices separately, you can buy certain NETGEAR routers with Circle technology already built in. Circle offers more parental control features than NETGEAR Standard Parental Controls. With Circle, you can set bedtimes, view browsing history, set time limits, and reward your children by setting later bedtimes and longer time limits. Three service options are available to NETGEAR customers who have Circle enabled on their routers. When you subscribe to Premium and add Circle Go, you can monitor your children’s devices even when they aren’t connected to your home network or when they’re using 4G LTE.
