All works fine but when I click on parental control, I land on a web page where I have to dowload Netgear Genie. When I install netgear genie on my windows 8.1 computer. I have the message "Checking router Firmware" ... It looks like you might not be connected to a supported netgear router.
I've made I firmware update to V1.0.3.80_1.1.38 and still have the same problem.
1. I want to use parental control for a unique mac address. Is this possible ? 2. What's the difference between the dowloaded netgear genie and the security build in the router
I've a BBox 3 from Belgacom as modem and my netgear router is connected via an ethernet cable. Wifi on bbox is down and wifi onnetgear is up.
Hey try this, use the genie and click on the parental controls option. When you get to the page look in the lower right hand corner, there should be a refresh option, click that and see if it allows you to continue on.
Also you can log into your router by using 192.168.1.1 and entering the user name and password. From there try going to the parental controls and try accessing it from there.
And to answer your question I think the genie is more for managing the wireless side of your network such your password , parental controls, viewing devices connected and data traffic on your network and the secure log in ( 192.168.1.1 ) has more to do with the routers internal settings like IP address and sub-net mask, blocking devices, and things of that nature. Let me know if you continue to have trouble. Or if it worked for that matter. lol
Did you set the R7000 to AP mode? I have noticed that the IP address is in range with your modem which is bbox. I think the modem is managing the DHCP that is why the genie is detecting the modem as the main router and providing you the error "t looks like you might not be connected to a supported netgear router".
Hello! I couldn't find a forum fully dedicated to Netgear Genie, this seems to be a closest one. I'm using Genie app on my iMac 2012 (to add AirPrint support to my computer, and it works well). I'm trying to disable an annoying popup message on my mac asking me to allow to firewall incoming connections each time after program starts. I have checked firewall settings, Netgear Genie is among other programs in white list (marked with a green bullet), but popup appears and appears. Is there some solution of this issue? Thank you for your assistance in advance.
After checking the box or giving the needed programs permissions did you restart your computer:confused:? Some permissions don't take effect until after you restart your computer.
Otherwise you could also disable DHCP in belgacom BBOX3 and keep the default IPs range in NETGEAR (192.168.1.0/255.255....) but then if, for what ever reasons, you need to login again to your BBOX then you need to reset it.
I give as granted that WIFI in BBOX3 is OFF. When everything is setup correctly you will see three green lights in BBOX3. One is the power, one is related to DSL and the last linked to your R7000 attached to the BBOX. If you seem more than you are not in an ideal setup
