NetGenie – Read it first
The most complex questions have the simplest answers. NetGenie is an embodiment of such a
design philosophy.
At home, our family is the most cherished part of our life and their security is our prime concern.
They access the Internet for almost anything. From booking movie tickets, accessing Facebook to
emailing, the Internet is woven into the fabric of day-to-day lives; and yet is the most vulnerable
part too.
The Name is… NetGenie
The idea behind this product is to provide the same technology based Internet security to home
user, as the enterprise level users get. It is designed to ensure the safety of its master like a
Genie without curbing the freedom, while surfing the Wild Wild Web, and not be restrictive or
prohibitive like a cop. Hence it is christened – NetGenie.
A Complete Security Suite
The challenge here is to make an appliance simple to configure for a home user and yet give
enough leeway to an advanced user to configure and customize the security as per his needs. The
outcome of this design philosophy is NetGenie - a ready to use small appliance with retro looks,
empowered with security features like firewall, Web and application filtering, anti-virus and
intrusion prevention (IPS). While firewall, anti-virus and IPS keeps all unauthorized, malicious and
harmful Internet traffic at bay, Web and application filtering have been customized to play the role
of age sensitive Parental Controls.
Truly Plug-n-Play
NetGenie is a truly a Plug-n-Play security solution. Give in the Internet feed, Power it up and…
Whoosh…. you go!

Threat-free Wi-Fi
With NetGenie, you can rest ensured that no one will be able to snoop into your Wi-Fi. It has been
secured it from the inception. In the technical lingo, NetGenie is shipped with a preconfigured SSID
and Network Security Key (password) which, if required, you can change. For the first time use,
just check the appliance bottom and you will find the Network Security Key (password) there. In
other words, you do not have to log in into the appliance to go hunting for the Wi-Fi password.
To add icing on the cake, you have Firewall, Anti Virus, Web and Application Filtering and Intrusion
Prevention features to chaperonage your family as you surf the Internet.
