Nighthawk X8 / Netgear Genie download

 I have a new Desktop with Windows 11 and i cannot get Netgear Genie for Windows to download at all!  Is there another way to download it on my desktop? What am I missing, all this setup and software...

Netgear seems to be going out of its way to kill off this neat little tool. It even does things that you can't do with the browser graphical user interface (GUI).

 

The last time I looked it was here:

 

genie | Product | Support | NETGEAR

 

For some reason it is packaged in a RAR file and labelled as an "app".

 

I told you they are making it hard to get at.
