Password required to open Network Genie?
Is there a way to require a password to open Netgear Genie and thus make many of the restriction options more useful?
Thx

Hello @cbrunk
Welcome to the community!
To answer your question, there's no way to set password on the NETGEAR Genie.
You may want o request this under Idea and Exchange board.
Thank you!

My question is "Why?"
Does the standalone genie allow you to change things that matter? Don't you have to get into the web interface to do that?
But maybe I am thinking of the wrong thing. What is the Network Genie? I am talking about the Netgear Genie.

Re: Password required to open Network Genie?
Thanks for the reply and appologize for my slow reply. I am referring to Netgear Genie and the why is becuase you can click "Parental Controls" and "Disable" in Netgear Genie (after setting it up on the web interface) and just like that, no filtering. I could set up better controls to access my comptuer or sleep with it, but just seems it would make sense to require a password to turn off parental controls from Netgear Genie.

If that really is the case, then I'm with you. Nuts. Takes away the whole point of parental controls.
Can you just remove the standalone genie from the computers involved?
