Devices and Printers - Genie Media
I am now getting multiple Genie Media Servers showing up in Devices and Printers. How do I stop them from showing up? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you, KC Judd
This started recently, and I do not know of any changes. I have done the Microsoft updates, but other than that, no network changes, no added devices.
Do you have the Netgear destop genie installed on your Windows PC?
These devices are, as the name says, Media Servers. They can show up when you have DLNA enabled. Is your R6220 configured to act as a ReadyDLNA media server?
Genie Media Servers - Google Search
Is there any orther DLNA server on your network?
Under the Basic tab, USB Storage, Media Server:
The Media Server Name is ReadyDLNA. None of the boxes are checked, I.e. Enable Media Server and Enable iTunes Server, they are not checked.
The radio button, Content Scan, is checked.

If I disable the Media Server, "Content Scan" is also disabled.
Is there any other DLNA server on your network?
What about the Netgear genie. Is that installed?
Solved: I somehow downloaded the Genie software. Uninstalled it, fixed everything.
