Will Circle Work with My Home Network?

If you're wondering whether Circle will work with your home network, the answer is most likely "Yes!" Circle is designed to work with as many networks as possible. Read below for resources on requirements, compatibility, and advanced configurations.

Requirements

Circle is able to fit into a large number of home networks, but it does have some requirements. Circle will need to pair with a wireless connection to a compatible wireless router. Circle cannot pair to a modem or device that does not have Wi-Fi capabilities.

Advanced networks: Extenders, mesh, dual-band, etc.

Under normal circumstances, Circle will be able to manage both bands of a dual-band network, wireless extenders, and devices that are connected with an Ethernet cable to the router. However, there are some network configurations that require special setup, and there are others that Circle does not support, such as mobile hotspots and satellite connections.
