Genie App Login with Updated Router

I just had to switch out my router fora new one. Same router model, but different version. Now i can't login through the Genie app. I get the error "login failed. Please re enter correct admin password for netgear router" I didn't change anything with the login info. So it's just "admin" and "password. I've reset the router and deleted and reinstalled the app twice.

I'm on an iPhone 6
Router is a R6300 v.1
Former router was v.2 (I know)

I appreciate any help. Also can't get wemo ligh hub or light switches to connect to new router. Agh.

  • I searched the ** out of these forums, the googles, everything. Of course by the time I got home with new router it was after webchat and phone support closed.

    Are you trying to connect to the router via the iPhone? If so, which version of its operating system.

     

    It is usually easier view a wired PC (Apple or Windows).

     

    You wouldn't be the first person to experience difficulties using an iPhone to manage a network.
