Netgear genie high cpu usage.
Not sure where to post this but do I need the netgear genie, because it keeps making my cpu go crazy. Thanks.
I had 3 Window 7 PCs with Netgear Genie running (just upgraded to latest version) and noticed that two things wrong. CPU usage was high and Ethernet/internet performance was way down. These 3 PCs are mainly hardwired to my gigabit switch unless I undock my laptop and use the wifi. Performance would get worse throughout the day and the though put was about 1/100th the normal Ethernet speed until I rebooted the systems. Tracked it down to Netgear Genie. Removed the software and the CPU and network performance problems are gone.
