    Hi GoldBeachBiker,

     

    1. What is the firmware version of the router?

    2. What is the app/program version that you have installed?

    3. Please try uninstalling and re-installing the app.

    4. Does the issue persist on your other devices?

     

    Regards,

        The router is excellent!  I am quite satisfied with it.  The Genie is a hopelessly ineffective and poorly constructed piece of software.  Nothing but problems with it.  I would encourage you to visit the reams of comments on various threads (including this one) showing displeasure with it.  Netgear can do better.  Your IT people can do better, one would think.
