      Same -- the already-terrible Netgear USB control app is now completely non-functional following upgrade to OS10 High Sierra. 

       

      It would be really nice if Netgear would take the time to make the router's USB functionality accessible for Mac users, in a way that doesn't involve a shockingly buggy app that looks like something from the 1990s. C'mon.

       

      Anyway, what did you find out from Netgear? 

       

      thx

        Same issue here, upgraded to High Sierra and now the NETGEAR USB Control Center fails to open with message "Installation incomplete".

         

        Can we get an update or some word on an upcoming update please?
