Mac genie installer NETGEARGenieinstall.dmg is corrupt
I tried to install the NetGear Genie software on my macs (both on my iMac and on my Macbook) but whenever I download the Genie installer it complains on 'invalid checksum'.
I tried from the download center, from the R7000 support page and ever from download.cnet.com. All same result. Other dmg files downloaded work just fine.
I used OS X El Capitan on both Macs.
Anyone else with this problem? Any known workarounds?
thanks,

Same here... seems to be unsigned.

macOS Sierra does not allow unsigned packages anymore. You can work around it at your own risk:

On El Capitan I think a simple right-click "Open" from the Finder is enough. Or change the permissions in the "Security & Privacy" Settings panel.

Nothing to add apart from I have macs and I have the same issue :-(
- Thanks for confirming this issue. Now I know it is not some weird local issue.

- Thank, I confirm that I now have installed the app. Still, someone at netgear should whip out their credit card for an Apple Developer Subscription to sign their apps.
