In short

NETGEAR Genie is a free Android app developed by NETGEAR Inc. This is a good app to restrict uses.

Highlights

Great ability to restrict uses

Network map is very handy

Works fantastic with my Nighthawk X10

Original early 2015 review was 4 stars Netgear

Easy access to router controls including Administration and parental

Lots of great knowledge for all level of users

Very user friendly as well

Beautiful simple layout

This is a very good app which let's me view my router

Some of the main features I use this app

Can't control access for my kids

One star until devs fix functionality of bypass account

Cannot login to my OpenDNS account from parental control on Android

So just a useless waste of app space on the phone

For a networking company their technical support is severely lacking

The media capabilities are just awful

GUI design is also nonstandard and outdated

So remotely using access control is useless as well due to that

Unable to login to my router

It just keeps saying to log out of the bypass login accounts

Android version supported: Android 2.2 or higher General Information: Supported NETGEAR router list: WiFi Routers: » R7000 » R6300 » R6250 » R6200 » R6100 » Centria (WNDR4700, WND4720) » WNDR4500 » WNDR4300 » WNDR4000 » WNDR3800 » WNDR3700v3 » WNDR3400v2 » WNR3500Lv2 » WNR2200 » WNR2000v3 » WNR1500 » WNR1000v2 » WNR1000v3 » WNDRMAC » WNR612v2 DSL Modem Gateway: » D6300 » DGND4000 » DGND3700v2 » DGN2200v3 » DGN1000   My Media: My Media uses the default media player on an Android device to play media files if the Android device is being used as a player. Different Android versions support different ranges of media formats. The following list is based on Android version 4.0 supported media formats: • Supported audio formats: AAC, HE-AAC, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, FLAC, MP3, MIDI, Vorbis, and PCM/WAVE. • Supported video formats: H.263, H.264 AVC, MPEG-4 SP, and VP8. • Supported photo formats: JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, and WEBP. For more information on supported media formats, see the Technical Specifications for your Android device. Notes for My Media: 1) Each supported media format has limitations in media encoding parameters, such as bitrate, frame rate, and resolution. When My Media is unable to play media files with the supported formats, it may be because the files have higher bitrates or frame rates that exceed the rate it can support. 2) The devices listed in Player view will be your own device, and other devices available in the network, such as PCs, TVs, stereos, or smartphones. 3) The Android NETGEAR Genie needs to be running in the My Media function to show up as a player or source. 4) Some media files can be played in some players, but can’t be played in other players. Different player supports different kinds of media file formats. 5) If My Media can’t find any source or any player, it may be because your device is disconnected from the NETGEAR router. Make sure it is connected to the NETGEAR router by checking the Wi-Fi connection in Settings. 6) After any change in the network, including Wi-Fi setting, source folder change, and list of player change, you will need to restart the media service and refresh the source folder in the Option view. 7) When playing media files on your own Android device, tapping the screen brings up play progress and player control. 8) It sometimes takes a long time to access and play a media file. This may be caused by a slow network, large file size, or heavy load in the player or source device.
