Why, for the love of Pete, does the Netgear Genie not give access to it?

I appreciate the help!

Excellent question.

I was under the impression that there was a way in. But when I went to look for it, it wasn't there. Perhaps this is another thing they removed in the last "improvement" to the genie.
