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 It is so slow, clunky, outdated, and ugly.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...

I agree with you. However, they need to start at the router first. They need to start from scratch with the firmware and remove this nonsense OpenDNS crap. Next, add features that WE, the user, wants to see. I have said this many times, I am not a fan of OpenDNS. I have tried it and for some people it may work and they are happy with it. Personally, I don't see the point of using a 3rd party company to perform the filtering when it can be added to the router itself. Linksys and Asus don't use some other company, they have included it in the firmware.
After they come out with better firmware then they can redesign Genie to match the routers firmware. Netgear has money. They charge 300 for a router. They can do so much better with the firmware and Genie.
