Nighthawk app and Open DNS

I understand from a previous post I am no longer able to set OpenDNS device level security on mobile devices following netgear shutting down the genie mobile app. Please let me know if this is incorrect.

 

I previously had certain devices setup with bypass accounts, and others with tighter security settings than the default. It appears I can no longer set up bypass accounts, and modify these settings?

 

This is a big problem for me. Is there any way to roll this back, or is the only way to remedy to switch to Disney? I will buy a new router before I switch to Disney.

 

Thanks

Hi @FG998, welcome to the community! Yes, on some router models, Genie support will be removed and switched over to the Nighthawk app. You can continue to use Genie via the desktop app for Windows or macOS. Bypass accounts on mobile devices will be a limitation with the setup, however.
