You refer to the genie. This could be one of several things, the browser interface, a Windows or Mac program for a PC, or a mobile Android/iThing app. Netgear labels them all as genies. Which are you using?

No problem. Your question may well help someone who turns up in the same boat.
Glad it worked out.
