PLEASE update the Genie program. It is so slow, clunky, outdated, and ugly. It's really pathetic, especially in the vain of more expensive hardware. The user experience does not match the price. It's like buying a Mercedes but the seats are made of cheap cloth. If I spend hundreds of dollars on a top of the line product, I expect the software to be excellent. Other companies have much better software. Catch up.

Absolutely agree with this.
Add me to the Absolutely Agree list. The User Interface is clumsy/inefficient to use; not facile.
Take a look at this netgear moderators.
I agree with Jarlmaster. The Genie is a terrible app to use. It sinks and we are spending good money on the router itself only to use a crappy App to manage the router and network. The Genie provides little information about the network and the Network Map sinks as well. Why do I have to login every single time to the Genie on my phone to view the details of my network.
Actually, please update the r8000 router first then update the Genie.
If you agree with this idea (and you all seem to) please upvote this idea so Netgear hopefully does something about this issue.
How do you "upvote" this suggestion to Netgear? Doesn't Netgear read this forum or receive ideas themselves?
Well I submitted my upvote on this suggestion. I am sure we will see an update in a few years.
Ha. That sounds awfully ambitious guyguy. They'll update the program but I doubt we'll see a completely rebuilt, modern program like we want.
This program is a mess totaly outdated!!
Network mapping is crappy!
can't cascade devices!!
