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?

From the iTunes description, looks like Genie can only control the router within home network, but Nighthawk can control remotely? I have not tried either as I am so confused what app to download.

I have the Genie app on my iPhone (not the Nighthawk app). I can remotely access my R8000P|Nighthawk X6S AC4000 router with Genie.
