Hi youdue,

 

Welcome to the community!

 

You can always use the desktop (PC and Mac) version of the Genie app and manage your LPC settings from there. You download it from here.

    Hi Dexter,

     

    Thanks for your answer, but the Genie app is not available anymore. Your link sends to the Disney Circle which does not support my router.

        It is way inconvenient to use the desktop app. It now takes minutes instead of seconds on the phone. Are the going to bring that functionality back to the phone app? I've gotten several people to buy this router because of that functionality alone
