FURRYe38:
Can you tell me how many devices "Your Setup (Cable 200Mb/10Mb)>C7800(Modem Mode)>RBK50
Additional NG HW: CM1100/1200, Orbi CBK40(Gateway Mode), R7800, R7960P, EX7500/EX7700, XR450 and WNHDE111" encompasses?
I suspect that what you have is more than I can handle. You do sound very knowledgeable though.
Perhaps you can explain something that is bothering me. I can't find Netgear GENIE anywhere on my PC. However, when I try to access https://192.168.0.1/ , up pops Netgear GENIE. Does it reside somewhere inside my C6300 Netgear Modem/Router?

Connected client devices, I have around 30. My C7800 is in bridge mode so it operates as a modem only since I use other external routers to play with. What I have listed is just accumulation of NG products I have. There not all online at the same time. LOL.
NG Genie is a software application for Windows or mobile devices. This application was a go to for most NG routers and extenders, however NG is phasing this app out and is not supported much anymore on newer products. NG is moving to NIghthawk app for there Nighthawk Routers and Extenders. For any Orbi systems, Orbi app is it's own thing for Orbi. If you get into something NG, Just be aware that Genie may not be supportive much.
You have a older modem so possible Genie was incorporated during this time frame in FW for the modem. I didn't experience the C6300. Check a different PC and see if same thing.
All newer products won't have Genie at all.
