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".
I'm still trying to understand what the challenge is here.
What started off as a question about the Netgear genie, which is not really your problem, has now morphed into something very different.
Have we narrowed it down to getting a VPN to work?
If so, what VPN is this and have you talked to the people who supply it?

I am mostly a plug it in , setup a couple of things and expect the item( in this case a router) to do whatever is expected it to do.
That works in most cases, but it depends on the rest of the network. In particular, the modem in front of the router and what you want to do that is out of the ordinary.
Both get in the way of the simple "plug and pray" approach.
Dear My Apologies Again, for going against the rules of this community. I thought as long as I was having a chat with some experienced people I could ask you nice folks whatever I needed to know. I see now thatif I change topics than I need to change my base question. As I do more research for a new or different router I will come back and start a New question. I appreciate all of your help with so many different things. My Thanks, Michael and everyone that has helped.
You have every right to change horses in mid stream. But it helps if we all know what the current issue is.
By all means talk about VPNs here, rather then the Apps, but when you do start on a new quest it helps to provide any extra information that can shorten the journey.
Another approach is to start a new conversation, in the right place of course, about your latest concern. Give it a more meaningful title and you may draw in people who know more about the topic and who may not have seen this discussion which, to them, has a misleading subject. People who know about VPNs may be ignorant on Apps, and vice versa.
