Hi everybody,After updating to macOS High Sierra, USB Control Center stopped working. It complains about “installation could not be completed” and suggest a reinstallation, but neither a reinstallation nor a fresh one work. I wonder if I am doing something wrong or maybe High Sierra is simply not supported yet...Could you please help me? Thanks in advance!

Finally a public release !! https://kb.netgear.com/000053245/ReadySHARE-Printer-Utility-Version-2-40-Mac-Supports-MAC-OS-10-13-and-above

I am having the same difficulty, and suspect that everyone ungrading to High Sierra will find that the Netgear USB Control Center is dead in the water. Is it perhaps not a 64 bit application?

Hope that the Netgear folks understand that this is a general problem for many thousands of users, and will try to upgrade it for us.

  Ok thius is starting to get really irrating. I have four computers, three have High Sierra and since I purchased my router three years ago I cannot even contact support without paying. Can someone from NetGear please inform me how I can get anything that will work with High Sierra. That or boxing day sales are coming in a couple of weeks. If I replace my router, it will not be with a NetGear router. I hate to be like that but.....
