Simplify and customize your home network for better engagement with NETGEAR Genie app for iOS devices. With NETGEAR Genie app, you have access to all the controls like wireless settings, live parental controls, traffic metering, my media, network map, and much more. With NETGEAR Genie app, your home network’s security, access, and controls are at your disposal.

You can stream music from any device in your network using Genie dashboard. Print your documents by syncing your printer with AirPrint using Genie interface. NETGEAR Genie app provides a simplified approach for managing your home network. Create a base security level in open DNS, and turn it on/off/modify using the phone app.I created an open DNS account, and configured the default security level (without time windows) to custom, and selected everything. Totally locked down. Next, I configured a time window for normal use on the computer, and selected a low security level from morning until evening.

Whoever uses the internet outside of the time window will get DNS error messages. Next, went to the phone app network map to find my kids computer. Who's where you lock it in, or loosening up; click on your kids, computer.

Go to filter level, and select default filter on router, next restart the router from the phone app. You can change the security level on the fly to Open up the computer. Just remember, if you go in the opposite direction, (to lock it down) you'll have to reboot the router every time you make an adjustment in that direction. The system is fairly limited, but I've shown you a way to make it work And it does work. This app is lacking a lot of things, for someone who has an Orbi which is a very expensive router by comparison, you would expect an app that is not blurry on an iPhone 7Plus and with at least parental controls that actually work. On the Parental Controls issue, you can set up ByPass logins, that doesn’t work. It doesn’t matter that you’re signed in with the bypass login with no filtering it still blocks you.

You can go on the app, select Network Map, select the device and select the filtering level to None and it goes back to filtering anyway. Now, I can’t even shut down Parental Controls. I go to the app and select it and it tries to load the page and then goes back to the main menu. Seriously Netgear, the Orbi is a great product but the app support is absolutely lacking. You even have an Orbi app that does the bare minimum where you just have to use the Genie app. Why bother at that point? Shame on Netgear!!!!!

After 90 days they charge you for tech support. I’ve never had any company do this-EVER. I lost my password for the app making me unable to modify parental controls. The parental control portion of the app doesn’t appear to have a “forgot my password” reset option so I tried creating a new account. But then it wouldn’t work because my phone was already tied to the previous account. With my frustration building I deleted the app from my phone and reinstalled it. Now it asks for an admin password but every possible password I can think of is incorrect.

As a last ditch effort I tried calling Netgear tech support but was told it would cost $ for them to help. I will never buy a Netgear product again. Apps. Antivirus. Art & Design. Auto & Vehicles. Beauty.
