Netgear Genie windows 8
I'm running network Genie 2.2.27.1 WNDR4500 V1.0.1.20 However network Genie does not appear to be compatible with windows 8, it says the internet is off line but, it appears to work normally. Does ...
No problems with Genie (same version) here on Win8, using WNDA4100 adapter. Does the "Internet Offline" only appear for a short time, or does it always say that for you?

You may or may not have to enable .Net Framework 3.5 (I already had it enabled before testing this for you, due to an issue with installing inSSIDer)
Here’s how to enable it:
1. Copy sxs folder from your install ISO to the root of C: drive (not sure why this can’t be done with the contents of Winsxs folder... maybe it can?)
2. Run the following command from an elevated command prompt (CMD Admin):
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:C:\sxs /LimitAccess

I would uninstall genie, then reboot and enable .Net 3.5 as shown above, then reboot and install Genie again and see if that helps.
