Nighthawk AC1900 Model R7000 troubles
Hello EAch time i turn on my computer which is wired to the router I get an error message "Control Center Installation is incompleter Please reinstall again" It had been working just fine and all ...
Well done. As suspected, it was not really the R7000 but the stuff surrounding it.
Did you try reinstalling the newer version after you cleaned out the old one?
The message you saw sounds like something wonky in the setup. Now that you have sorted that out, perhaps installing it afresh would work.
Start from scratch, and do everything that you need to do to add the printer and see if that works.
At least you know how to recover if that does not give you control over the printer.
Or start another discussion about getting the printer to work. This one could mislead people because it is about mysterious popups.
The pop up message I get is titled Netgear USB control center and the message is Control cente installation is incomplete Please reinstall. I comes up each time I turn on the computer. so I guess it is related to the router.

Do not be confused by seeing a message that shouts Netgear at you. It may have nothing to do with your router.
When you boot your PC, it does a couple of things that may involve the router.
First it connects to your local network and the Internet. If your PC is properly configured and all the drivers are there in Windows, this should not involve anything Netgear. (Even if there are problems, Netgear has nothing to do with them because Windows handles that bit.) It just looks at your local environment and makes the connection.
The PC also loads a bunch of software that has not much, if anything, to do with the network. The router doesn't need software. So your first challenge is to look in the startup routine for anything that launches software that might produce that message.
It could be a utility that monitors and manages your Internet/network connections. It could be anything.
ok so it could be i the start up routine. hmm
My internet connections come into the router first then I have a cable to the computer.
Is that an issue ?
I tried trouble shooting with internet connection and windows did not find a problem .
I did have a issue just prior to this alert showing up that the printer spooler was not working and I replaced my printer with an old HP colour jet 2600n which is old and isnot capable of network router supported remote printing .
Maybe that is the issue .
Where would Look to find the problem .
Or is it a problem I should just ignore .
I struggle with all of this . I can follow direction but my knowlegde is limited.
Thanks once again for thinking about my issue.

That seems highly likely. It is in line with the message that I pointed you at in an earlier answer. I found it by searching this forum.
Here it is again:
Control Center Installation - NETGEAR Communities
Read the messages at the end of that link. They relate to earlier reports of the issue that you raised. They are nearly two years old, but the advice is probably still valid.
Read the response from RogerSC.
Then get the software you need from here:
NETGEAR Support | Downloads | R7000
So I tried down loading utility version 1.0.50.500 and it did not correct the pop up
so then I down loaded the Printer utility version 1.36 for window and tried installing a new verision . And it did not correct the issue of the pop up.
So then I wondered as I read in the log whether I really need it so I tried deleting printer utility version 1.36 and guest what I do not get the pop up anymore.
I still cant print remotely to my old HP 2600n but what the hell at least I do not get the pop of from the control center that the installation is imcomplete .
Thanks for your help .
I guess netgear is not as user friendly as they make it out to be.
Also had you sent a link prior of possible other solutions I did not get it if you did or missed it if you did.
Thanks
