C6300 How to delete wireless networks using Netgear Genie now that I've set up a mesh system
How can I delete the 2 wireless networks currently set up on my system using Netgear Genie? I've read that I should delete them now that I have another wireless network set up on my Google Nest mesh ...

Just to clarify for others looking for this solution, I followed these instructions: https://kb.netgear.com/27191/How-to-set-the-cable-modem-router-to-be-on-modem-only. I turned the router function off and the netgear wifi networks are no longer available. I can't seem to access the Netgenie anymore so I think I would have to reset the device if I wanted to turn it back on.

I also have Comcast.
I have V1.
I used Netgenie and turned my modem mode off and it removed the 2 Netgear wifi networks, and my Google Nest wifi network is still working, so true solution achieved for this non-network expert :).

"seem"? See "not a useful problem description [...]", above. I
can't seem to guess what you tried, or how it failed. - kon_amiJun 15, 2021Guide
Milimom, since I am smart enough to decipher what you are stating, you have to do a factory reset in order to access the control panel when in "bridge" mode. But in doing so, you'll have to re-setup the Nest and the Points.
BTW, I was able to successfully connect my Nest Wifi after returning the refurbished unit and replacing with a brand new one.
