NETGEAR USB Control Center macOS High Sierra

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!

  • Right now I am using the USB connection from the router without the USB Network Control Center installed. It is slow but appears to work with my color laser printer. One advantage is I do not have to keep reconnecting the printer like I did with Netgear's software. It used to time out repeatedly leaving the printer off line.

    • I've tried to do this, but I haven't been able to make it work. Would you mind sharing the procedure you followed? thx!

        I just plug the USB in and go to Systems Preferences then Printers and Scanners. I add printer (+) and my printer shows up with a new name, a series of numbers and characters. I suppose that is some sort of IP address? The original printer name also appears in the list. I just switch this new printer as the default printer.

  • Same problem here, getting same "installation is incomplete" message.

      Does anyone have an update for v2.4 release? For those who have it, would you be able to share it via Dropbox or other sharing service?

        I bought a TP-Link router over the holidays as they have support available for USB printing.  The 2.4 beta worked on a cpipleof computers but not on another so I gave up.

      I installed this new public release but the USB Control Center does not detect anything. Thanks for your help.

        My printer needs to be turned on for it to be detected.
