two (I hope) simple questions r6250-genie and password reset
I have another router that I'm running, and my netgear router is plugged into that router, so I have a seperate router channel altogether. Unfortunately, my son keeps connecting to the netgear, so I need to change the password. I understand that genie no longer works, but I only really need to do one thing-reset the password to kick everyone else off the router.
will genie do this, and what is the simplest way to change the password?

You can log in through the browser and change the ssid/password.

Then just don't give your son the password.
There's a support site with access to manuals, firmware, install guides, etc.
Go to https://www.netgear.com/support/
Type in your model number and from there it'll take you to the above.
Its a great resource to start with.
