  • Hi rikkiB3,

     

    There seems to be an issue with the latest version of the NETGEAR Genie program with some Windows 10 devices and this has already been reported to engineering. As a work around, you may download and install the previous version (2.4.12) of NETGEAR Genie using the link below.

  • I have tried uinstalling and reinstalling Genie, but it displays in such a tiny window I can't read it. I have run compatiblity testing for Windows 10, but nothing helps. Anything?

      Hi chuckbdaly,

       

      If you are using a high resolution screen then the program will appear smaller than normal. This is due to the app not yet programmed to be DPI aware. This has already been reported to engineering. Please keep the program up to date for possible fixes.
