Hi JDCboise, tomdaltonz, and BobP01,
I recommend uninstalling the NETGEAR Genie program from the computer and install the previous version (2.4.14) using the download link below:

After a successful install, dowload the latest version (2.4.16) of the NETGEAR Genie using the link below and run the installation to update from the older version:
