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.
