Over the last few weeks Netgear has forced users of their Nighthawk Routers to upgrade from their old Net Genie mobile app to the new Nighthawk mobile app. Net Genie was the only access to manage filtering levels for connected devices. For quite a few years, it was the best router option I heard of to truly lock your kids down to acceptable websites.
Anyone with teenagers knows how hard ensuring appropriate content is the only content available to our kids is.
Netgear's Net Genie was one of the best tools for this very reason.
And now that's gone. While Netgear still advertises their Nighthawk Routers with Parental Controls.
I think Tom's Hardware would be doing an amazing service if they evaluated the changes that Netgear had done and is doing. Managing appropriate web access is an absolute nightmare in this age.
So this, for many many many parents, is going to be an amazingly critical topic.
It would be worth at least Tom's Hardware checking out the Nighthawk app available on the Google App Store, specifically, the latest reviews.
