Netgear uses the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) as the communications link between the router and apps (Orbi app, Nighthawk app, etc.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOAP . The list of routers using SOAP is extensive:
https://www.routeripaddress.com/search/netgear+router+soap+api/*/*/
In addition to the Excel spreadsheet mentioned above, there are examples on the internet which use various programming languages to access and control Netgear routers using SOAP. One for Python is pyNetgear_Enhanced

Javascript; https://www.npmjs.com/package/netgear
A common complaint is that each of these projects was limited because Netgear does not publish specifications for the SOAP interface and each developer had to scrape the parameters from observing the Nighthawk or Orbi app communications.
If someone had a Fortran or C language library, I'd be all over this.
