The complete Genie App and Program design is a Netgear Nightmare.
Windows (and macOS when I have it right) Genie - with a Remote Connection to a Nighthawk - does always show the local (W)LAN devices and in no way the Network Map aka. Attached Devices on the Nightawk router "out there". And yes, my Genie on Android (v3.1.52) connected remotely to a R9000 (v1.0.3.16) does only show the R9000, the "cloud", and the mobile running the Genie App.
Now they hope to make things better closing the Genie forum here in the community, and having everyhting in the Nighthawk App forum. Ridiculous again.
