you don't need apps. all you need is a browser and go to http://192.168.1.1 to use the router's Web GUI

you are wrong about apps vs. the gui. apps are built for novices and for convenience. so easy to see what is connected to your router, changing passwords, speed test, rebooting, etc. netgear just needs to have the app built for a pc.

All of that you can do with the Web GUI as well. NETGEAR's apps are very inconsistent and buggy. That's why I suggested to use the Web GUI
Besides what it stated above, don't do firmware updates via the app. Lots of bricked routers from people doing that. Bricked means router firmware is corrupt and then you have to go through a process that is not easy to recover.
Yes...... we all now you can plug in your default gateway ip address into the URL bar to access the routers GUI.... but what if you were using 2 routers and or using the seond one as an access point... then your method falls short..... thats why we are looking specifically for an application

Does this have anything to do with the subject of this conversation?

You have joined in on an existing conversation that may or may not have anything to do with your problems.
There is also a good chance that the official support team is busily monitoring new conversations and may miss your addition to this one.
If you do want help with your problem, check previous stuff that may be related then start your own discussion.
If you do decide to ask a question, you should provide more details and your own version of the information that the forum suggests that you provide. For example, as this is a router, it helps to know what modem you are using and the various things that you have tried to fix the problem.After much frushtration trying on Chrome and Edge, I wnet with the Internet Exploler Browser.
