Hi grumpybs,
The latest version of the NETGEAR Genie should be compatible with Windows 10. I suggest making sure that the program has been completely uninstalled by checking Programs and Features under Control Panel. You can then try to reinstall the program by downloading the latest version using he link below.

Same problem as others. Network Genie will not fully install with Windows 10. Very annoying.
As discussed in previous posts, the latest version of Genie won't install.
I also tried a previous version (.12) and it did install. However, I still cannot get it to recognise the WiFi adapter and connect to the network. The LED lights up on the adapter, but when you try to connect to the (WiFi) network you get the dreaded spinning circle for a very long time. THEN it finally asks me to connect the ethernet cable because it can't find it.
Of course there is no ethernet cable, which is why I bought this adapter.
Did the un-install process they insisted upon remove the device drivers?
