Netgear Genie "Custom Name" List
In the standalone Genie App, after assigning a number of devices "Custom Names," I have not found a way to see all my Devices & their respective names unless those devices are active (connected).
Looking through this Community, I found that the file, MapCustomData.dat, most likely contains that info. Unfortunately, the file is not a text file and, I am unable to decipher it.
The Netgear Genie Browser, under Access Control, does maintain the Device Name I assign whether it's connected or not. This Netgear Genie Browser data is not shared with the Netware Genie App on my Windows PC. I have to assign the names in both places.
How do I maintain my Custom Names within the Genie App for all the Devices I have updated without having the need to see them all connected? Is there a way to generate a List akin to the Browser Genie or any other format?
Saving Screen grabs is not a great way to manage multiple device name assignments.
Thank you all for the support you offer here.
Happy New Year,
GC
P.S Has anyone found a way to have a Device Name display in the emailed Netgear Log in addition to the IP address? This was a valued feature in the Tomato Software (Log). Thanks again.
Hi GianChaz,
Unfortunately, there is no way to modify this behavior because it is how the app was programmed. However, you can have it suggested in our ideas exchange board linked below.
