BRCM-LVG appearing since Gateway Updated to Netgear Genie

We have an N450 (on the side it also says CG300Dv2)

 

Our gateway software must have auto updated to Netgear Genie. All the sudden we see BRCM-LVG appearin gin our network.

 

In Netgear Genie ReadyShare it shows it as a possible USB device. Is that what it is?

 

Should I disable it from Network Connection, HTTP and FTP?

 

Thanks for some answers.

  • Apparently when the modem/router auto updated the ademin interface to Netgear Genie it included options to use the USB port on the device to act as a storage location. That was showing up in my network connections as the cryptic BRCM-LVG. I went into Netgear Genie and just disabled it since I don't plan to use it.

    Hello Dvideo 

     

    From what I have researched many people have had this device show up on the network it seems to be related to network storage devices do you have a NAS or some type of storage on your network?
