I have an issue with your software
Frist Genie does not close for some reason, I have to quit it from task manager every time which is annoying. I just bought a new 5G Netgear router. And I saw you do not support Genie anymore. Fine. ...

That one has bitten several users over time.
It turns out that people buy these things without really understanding their purpose. Sometimes they do this because they see a WAX access point on offer at an attractive price. (Is Netgear trying to dump them?) They then end up with a bit of kit that isn't really what they wanted.
They then confuse the matter by asking for help in sections of this community given over to consumer routers, where the management processes are very different, with Netgear pushing everything over to apps on mobile devices.
Business users, the intended market for these WAX things, are usually a bit more clued up and don't need, or want, dumbed down management regimes.
Actually WAX202 is great home router, and I know, cause I use it now. So the issue is not hardware. Actually it is not software too, as there are other software solutions, just not provided by Netgear. So I will use their excellent hardware, with better software, which allows me to manage my home network from my actual PC.

You talk in secrets here. Which third party software does allow to manage your home network, probably including the RAX202 based services like IP config, DHCP, routing, ICMP proxying, ...?
