iOS 7 breaks Genie Airprint
Using latest Genie (2.2.28.24) and WNDR4500 firmware (V1.0.1.36_1.0.6.3), I was able to print easily from my iPhone5 with iOS 6. After upgrading to iOS 7, Genie's Airprint feature no longer works wit...

I think the real issue it that iOS7 is not compatible with the current Genie program for windows or the existing Genie App for iPhone. iOS7 is 100% AirPrint capable. It is ridiculous to spend time futzing with an application to make an older device do something it wasn't intended for. All of the current network printers available from HP and Epson are AirPrint capable. Even the higher end models can be had for under $200 dollars. Built in webserver, easy to configure and manage. One time set up and forget it.
Do yourself and everyone in your household a favor. Buy a true AirPrint capable or network printer. Problem solved... Or suffer and wait until Netgear releases an update. Why subject yourself to further aggravation.
I'm sure netgear is aware that Genie mobile for iOS7 is broken and that you can't print from a device running iOS7 to a printer that relies on Genie. USB printing via Genie is nothing more than a gimmick. I promise you will never look back. This investment pays for itself immediately.
