NETGEAR has a feature called Circle (Parental Controls) that might be enabled, preventing your Hydrawise-ready Hunter controller from connecting to a 2.4 GHz network. This can be disabled to allow your controller to connect to the network.
To disable Circle on a NETGEAR router, log into the router's settings and navigate to the Parental Controls section. Within this section, you should find an option to disable or toggle off Circle's functionality. After disabling, you may need to reboot the router for the changes to take effect. For additional support on this feature, please contact the manufacturer directly. Learn More
