    Hello petrucioci,

     

    You may use the Nighthawk app to manager your Nighthawk router. To manager your router via web browser, you may visit routerlogin.net.

      We the comunity dont apreciate that you umplug genie software. We had router loginn before. Why then you created Genie. And why you would create a software only for android and not the computer? You guys need to straight it up because you will make me go and buy another brand.

    Netgear is trying to kill the genie. It has broken some of the key links to it.

     

    First look on the support pages for your device:

     

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the downloads for your hardware.

    That page will also have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist.

    If that fails, the last sighting of the genie that worked was here:

     

    genie Landing Page | Apps | Discover | Home | NETGEAR

     

    If you have an older versikon, that should still work.

     

    The genie is a valuable addition to the toolkit that does things that are more complicated, or even impossible, with the browser graphical user interface (GUI). (Try creating a "map" of your powerline devices in the GUI.) It is a shame that Netgear tries to force us all to use its hopeless mobile apps.
