    Hi jwilson484,

     

    Please try the following steps:

     

    1. Uninstall and re-install the Genie apps/programs from your devices.

    2. Reboot the router.

    3. If it is an option, you can try doing a factory reset on the router.

     

    Regards,

Recently there was an update at least for Android app. Then it worked awhile according to the changes of the app, login issue fixed. However, a day later, the problem is back. Please look into this urgently.
