How to set parental controls on nighthawk MS60 parent circle app and is net genie the program?
Hi,
I have a nighthawk mesh wifi 6 satellite MS60, says on the list of qualified wifi routers that mine MS60 is not included, but the website: https://kb.netgear.com/29913/Setting-Parental-Control-filter-level-for-each-device?cid=wmt_netgear_organic
Says I can download firmware, will the firmware update update my MS60 so I can be a part of circle smart parental controls? And also is that what net genie is is the program for the circle smart parental controls? Also is net genie a program that is separate from the smart circle parent app? Or is net genie the program for smart circle parent app? I am confused cause there is a picture of net genie program and before that it says to download smart circle parent app but the title of net genie is not the same as smart circle parent app? Here is the picture https://kb.netgear.com/29913/Setting-Parental-Control-filter-level-for-each-device?cid=wmt_netgear_organic so I'm confused if net genie program is what the smart circle parent app looks like?
How do I get the net genie, is that by downloading circle smart parental controls app?
I want to block adult content with parental controls, what is net genie? Is that a subscription for the net genie.or is it free? Where do I download or get it and then set it up?
Also if my wifi router which is a I have a nighthawk mesh wifi 6 satellite MS60 doesn't support this smart circle parent controls net genie app, then what do I do to block adult content? And where do I download it, also is it free or a subscription and if there is also directions that can help me block adult content and set up parental controls website please add the URL? Thank you!
Please let me know?

I presume you are referring to the MR60 unit which is the router portion of the MK60 series system? The MS60 is the satellite unit thus not a router nor would it have any abilities to support SPC features.
Try accessing the MR using the Nighthawk app on a phone or pad. This had the supporting features to get Armor or SPC enabled on the MR router.
