GUI vs Genie?
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64
Netgear N300 Wireless Router Model WNR2000v5
I have GUI Language Version V1.0.0.204. Is that replaced by Genie (current version 2.4.48.0)? Or are they distinct applications?

Re: GUI vs Genie?
Ever helpful, Netgear uses the name "Genie" for more than one thing.
Netgear routers have a web-browser interface called "Genie", and Netgear
offers application programs for various computers/pads/phones, which are
also called "Genie".

Where did you get that datum? If it was associated with a firmware
version number, then it's probably determined by the firmware package
which is installed on the router. In principle, Netgear could update
the GUI Language subset of a firmware kit separately from the main
firmware subset, but I don't know if that ever happens.

Which "Genie" is that? Mac? Windows? iOS? Android?
> [...] Or are they distinct applications?
The Genie apps are apps. The router firmware is the router firmware.
Those items are largely independent.

Re: GUI vs Genie?
The GUI Language Version is displayed in the Router Information box when I login to the router and select [Advanced > Advanced Home].
I am assuming from antinode's reply that the Genie that could be installed from the file NETGEARGenie-install.exe (version 2.4.48.0) that I found on the Netgear Web site is NOT for use with a router used by a PC.

Ok. That's tied to the router firmware.

"I found on the Netgear Web site" is not a very helpful description
of where you found that file. "the Netgear Web site" is a large place.
Perhaps:
https://www.netgear.com/home/discover/apps/genie.aspx
"NETGEARGenie-install.exe" is the installer for the Windows variant
of the genie app. If you want a genie app for Windows, then that's what
you'd use to install it. But those version numbers which you cited have
approximately nothing to do with each other.
