So Folks, HOW do I use the Genie app? No Clue. I have a Chromebook , so I can use the genie on it. Not compatible. I want to know how to change channel, if needed. etc. Please Help someone. I am a Newbie/Novice. Thanks.

The latest firmware for this router comes with "Added support for SHA256 certificates in lieu of MD5 for OpenVPN": R6700 Firmware Version 1.0.1.48 | Answer | NETGEAR Support for the V2 variant: R6700v2 Firmware Version 1.2.0.24 | Answer | NETGEAR Support "Supports SHA256 certificates instead of MD5 for OpenVPN".

Greetings,

Netgear Support portal

Put in your model number and download the user guide for your router. You do not need Genie for windows or a mobile app. You can fully install and manage your router using nothing more than an internet browser.

    Hard to know without any clue as to what you want to achieve.
    
    Turn on tablet.
    
    Install app
    
    Run app
    
    Connect to wifi from R6700 (see label for SSID and password)
    
    Login to manage
    
    Do whatever it is that you want to do.
    
    There is a manual for the genie Mobile App somewhere at the end of this link:
