genie conflicts when using broadcomm wireless utility but not Msoft utility

1). Netgear genie v2.4 on windows xp sp3  x32

2). Although I have the PR2000 travel portable netgear router, this device isn't being used or connected. The cable modem router I have is Zoom 3d and using my broadcomm wireless to connect to this router on the laptop. Netgear genie runs in the background and is being used to create a network map picture of device coming and going but it tries to connect to the Zoom 3d router and screws up my broadcomm wireless application that controls the internal laptop wireless card. Thus it connects, then disconnects, then connects and disconnects as it fights with the broadcomm application for control. The netgear genie wifi connect list of routers automatically scans and then shows connected then it disappears and repeats. It must be looking at the preferred network connection that MSoft or Broadcomm uses to know what is my preferred network setting is. Moreover, the little terminal icon in the system tray shows X and stops blinking, then when it connects it blinks and bounces back and forth too. If I terminate netgear genie in the system tray, it then keeps me connected to the router.
