Netgear Genie keeps poping up
Yesterday my Netgear Genie Auto Updated the software on my computer which is a Windows Vista Gateway Desktop and ever since it was updated whenever I reboot my computer the Netgear Genie keeps popping up and asking me which wifi connection I want to select despite the fact that I already have one selected automatically. How to I set it to stop popping up without clicking on the icon first which I am not doing since I don't need to select Network. Please let me know how to stop the annoying pop up. Thank for taking the time to read this everybody.:smileyhappy:

Hi DukeNukeum,
Try to uncheck it on the start up of your computer. Also, if you don't want to use the Genie, you may uninstall it.
Thanks I will try that then. If I have any more problems I'll be sure to post on here again.:smileyhappy:
