These devices are designed to be set-up by parents who want to make sure certain devices can only go to certain places. It has settings for Facebook, Instagram, and others, so the parent can decide which device can visit these sites and which ones cannot. There are other settings available, too.
Circle with Disney is available now. For $99.00, this little box, about the size of a small Kleenex box, limits what devices can do on your home WiFi, whether those devices are wired or wireless.
