Netgear Genie is horrible, unfunctioning abandonware and its replacement requires a smartphone.
I bought a Netgear Nighthawk router/modem combo from Target for $210 + tax the other day. I don't have a receipt or a box but I demand a refund. I will never buy another Netgear product again, and I ...
Are you a troll? I said "WEB app". You know, using the address 192.168.0.1 on a browser. Not the damned phone app. THE WEB APP IS BROKEN. It's not a site, it's an app. It isn't hosted on another server, it's hosted on my own router. I clearly stated I don't have a phone. You don't read, you don't listen, you come in here with this spiteful, arguing attitude. "Guru" really? Netgear support is an effing joke.

You said many things, the meaning of which was not always clear.

Generally, "app" means "application program", not a web site,
accessed through a web browser. (A web browser _is_ an "app".)

No, it's a web site, not an app.

Exactly. It's a web site, hosted on your own router.

This is a user forum, not "Netgear support".

Not a good start. "nothing worked" is not a useful problem
description. It does not say what you did. It does not say what
happened when you did it. As usual, showing actual actions (commands)
with their actual results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be
more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.
Also, as you might now realize, "Netgear Genie" is not a well-defined
term.

Are you asking or telling? Thanks for the helpful links.

Perhaps. Some of the rants found in these user forums aren't worth
much, either.

I hope that your typography improves when you grow up.
