Genie - bug - username change

On new version of Genie app for iOS there is a problem while login onto router. It is imposible to change the username from the original 'admin' one. So if I had selected a different name before there is no chance for mr to log into it. Thanks for help.

  • That is the hard-wired username to get at the router's controls. You can't change it.

     

    It is not the username for Netgear's on-line thing, or for your wifi devices.

    You can't have a different name so that won't happen.
