Netgear Genie for Windows and iOS create different entries for OpenDNS Parental access for C6300

Genie for windows creates and manages a different entry in OpenDNS from Genie for iOS. This prevents me from using Parental Controls

 

Router Model    -     MAC Address   -              Sign Up Date
C6300BD          -     XX:xx:yy:a3:bb:51           -  Mar. 01 2017
C6300BD          -     XXxxyya3bb54                -  Feb. 05 2017

 

Data edited (for security) but format is exactly as appears on OpenDNS.

      Hi Darren

       

      Windows 10 (1607) 64 Bit, Pro. 

      iOS 10.2.1, iPhone 6.

       

      Both using the latest version of Genie at the time.

       

      Note: in one registration the MAC address doe not have colons ':' and there seems to be a 'bit' shift by 2 in the last byte of the MAC address.

       

      Cheers

      John
