C3700 How do I test this modem/router? Is there a replacement for Genie?
I am having internet speed/connection issues with all devices on my Netgear C3700 modem/router. My ISP will be here tomorrow to check my connection. An ISP technician truouble getting my modem to respond, but that could be outside line/box issues. How can I test the C3700? An online speed test shows less than 1 mbps instead of the usual 80 mbps. It looks like Netgear Genie no longer exists and my copy was lost due to a total redo of my SSDD. Is there any diagnostic app or another way to test the perfmormance of a Netgear modem/router? I am wondering if this C3700 is an older device, not supported, and needs replacing due to age.

If you log into it through the browser, you can view the cable connections page and the event log.
Take a screen snip of them and post them back on here. We can take quick check of the line to let you know if there's issues.

I logged into the router/modem C3700. That brought me to a Netgear Genie page. I am not seeing an event log though. Is there another name for event log?

Found Event Log. Says Warning (5) and gives mac addresses over and over.
I see Genie is not gone, but it is no longer a Windows App.
Could you write what specifically to look for in the event log that will show if the router/modem is doing well?
