Netgear Genie & ORBI CBR40

Hello,  Do I really need the netgear genie running on my computer (or at all)  if we have the ORBI CBR40?  Suddenly it seems to be taking up a bunch of memory and my hard drive is constantly running until I end it.

  • No, Genie isn't supported on Orbi systems. 

    So use the CBR40s web page to manage the system and you can use the Orbi app for simple use.

      I forgot to ask, how do I get to my CBR40's webpage is that an IP address?  Is that listed anywhere?
