WNDR3400v2 — N600 Wireless Dual Band Router

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)

Running macOS Big Sur

 

Trying to connect to the ethernet:

Status: Not Connected

The cable for Thunderbolt Ethernet is connected, but your computer does not have an IP address.

 

I've tried to download the Genie Desktop for a Mac, but it doesn't work.

How am I supposed to set this up? Yes, it was given to me from someone else. I didn't purchase this. I did do a factory reset with the button on the back.

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you so much!

There is a separate community set up for General and Legacy routers.  The link is here:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/SMART-Wi-Fi-General-and-Legacy/bd-p/home-wifi-routers-general

If you go to the downloads section at the top of this page and feed in your model number, it will take you to a page where you can download the user's manual and installation guide.

A moderator may move your post.

The download doesn't work or the program/app doesn't work?

Netgear is trying to kill this useful utility, but for the time being you can find it here:

Be warned that the genie installation file is wrapped up in a RAR archive that you have to decompress.
