Genie app won't connect to OpenDNS
Just tried using parental controls in Genie App but it will never connect to OpenDNS during the setup process. I have now created two accounts in OpenDNS and the accounts work fine at the OpenDNS we...
so frustrated by this also - I purchased a linksys last month and found out the parental controls consisted of me blocking up to 8 sites by manually putting them in - not helpful - so I just purchased this NightHawk because it looked like the parental controls were stellar - now I get all this work done on it (purchase, install, set up, download genie etc..) and it won't work - I cant get it to sign in! I'm so frustrated. can't believe it doesnt even work! I have the r7000. pulling my hair out right now - whats left of it...
dear all - just got a message from opendns and they said its now fixed - I went in to check and what-do-you-know - it works now. thanks for all your help, encouragment and voice!

I haven't yet tried the fully automated router setup suggested by someone else, affraid it will mess-up my internet connection entirely. When I have more time I'll try that.
But as it stands genie is a complete dud for me.
