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
Returned from vacation, and attempted installing Genie once again. Version now shows 2.4.36, but initial install gave me same trouble with reading CDs again. So, I disabled autostart using msconfig and verified the autostart was off with the system tray icon, and for the moment, that DID fix the cd drive reading my discs. Now problem is, I don't know what new version of Genie will fix the issue permanently. but thanks for this temp fix anyways!
