    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

Thanks Mike. I checked online today and only available version is still 2.4.28.0. Wished I had access to the newer version to see if my CD drive read issue would go away. reedaf4
