Greetings,
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.

- 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:

Thank you for the link to the menu to the app. This looks like this will give me the answers I am looking for. On Windows I was able to figure the info out, kind of. Chromebook is Not compatible with the regular login page. The last time I used this app( about 6-8 months ago) I just about Completely F#@cked up my router and wifi settings. I did NOT want to do that again. Thanks again. Harold.
