How do I disable NETGEAR Genie from starting?
When I first used my cable modem and went to http://192.168.01 I arrived at a bare-bones setup (no web-based Genie). Then I downloaded/installed Genie. After a few days I decided I wanted to return...
Hello LSUfan71
Unfortunately you can not revert back with a cable modem all the Firmware is pushed out by the ISP so that is why this happened so the new firmware updated everything.

"You aren't reading what I typed."
This is what you typed:
"Uninstall genie from your laptop / desktop. Then launch a browser and connect to the IP address of the router. Genie is part of the router Web-UI. The imprtant part is not running it on a laptop / desktop.."
1. In my initial post I stated that I had already uninstalled Genie.
2. I did launch a browser and connected to the IP address of the router. Genie started again.
So apparently the firmware updated automatically? I know I didn't upate it. Is it possible to update firmware without my knowledge?
I know that the configuration I initially used was not Genie. I want to revert back to that.
