Same for me.
I need to reboot my router each time i want to login with Genie. After a reboot it work.
I find it too much assle, so i log using browser at router ip address.
But there is many fonction needing Genie to be setup!
And even when i can login with Genie, the parental control doesn't work, at all, ever.
This software is a piece of **bleep**.
The old app was working well, and i wonder what firmware i should go back to in order to use the old app

Hi rl17,
We currently do not have an ETA on the fix. Rest assured, the issue is being worked on by engineering to isolate the cause and provide an update and fix as soon as possible.

I'm experiencing the same - unable to login to R8000 from Genie App on my PC; however, I can login using Genie app on my iPhone. Curiously, when I click on the router IP link from the network map in Genie (on my PC where I cannot sign in), I'm taken right to the browser-based R8000 login page -- where I can login and access / change features.
