1454988 2018-10-27 20:48:00 When I go to the above in Control Panel, as well as my normal expected devices, I get 133 instances of Genie Media Server and PC Desktop. These seem to have some connection with my Netgear Nighthawk router. Can I just delete all these? Richard (739)

These seem to have some connection with my Netgear Nighthawk router. Can I just delete all these? Yes quite safe, netgear Genie will simply recreate them again. Its a known problem with netgear Genie.

The workaround is Turn off Network Discovery, but doing that will also stop other devices on the network from showing. catch 22 ;)
