R7000 Nighthawk Locks/Blocks CD/DVD Drive
Hello, R7000 Nighthawk updated to latest firmware within the past month. I don't know where to find the version via the Genie software, but there are no newer firmware updates available to me. ...
Hello Again Folks,
Yesterday afternoon, Netgear sent me an email wanting me to to test a new version of Genie. Upon opening my email today and seeing the notice, I downloaded and installed the updated version and put it to tthe test.
I am happy to report that I did not find any issues with this updated version of the Genie software!!!
I would guess that it will be made available for download soon.
Sincerely.
Mike Zinkan
I'll followup on this soon. Problem for me is I can't seem to read any disc's data in my drives once Genie is installed. Even when the Genie program isn't actively open, some feature is running in the background I'm sure, and I can't read the data. All I see is the disc is in the drive (Windows Explorer) and a single line entry in the left pane that shows something like files waiting to be written and ("desktop.ini") listed below it. All goes away when Genie is uninstalled, then the Windows autoplay window reappears, and the data files on the disc reappear. Very frustrating.
