Netgear Apps (Nighthawk vs Genie)
I have an R8000P and an older WNDR 4500 n900 router. I’ve used the Genie app for years. Just became aware of the Nighthawk app. Does Nighthawk replace Genie? Do I need both? Or just one of them?

It may depend on your hardware and the firmware version it runs. The Nighthawk app may not support some older devices.
Try it and see.
