I also was able to upgrade the security to WPA2-PSK (AES) and I chose "apply". I then disabled the Netgear router because my AirPort base station already has a router. Now in Netgear Genie I no longer see the "Wireless" option to check the level of security. Does this mean the WPA2 security is disabled if the Netgear router is disabled? I would appreciate your advice. Thanks very much.
If you disabled the "router" portion of the C3000, then its your airports wireless that is having the wireless security issue because the wireless is disabled on the C3000. When router mode is disabled, it functions only as a modem.

Do you have router mode disabled? Maybe you disabled router mode.

Also, did the wifi on/off button get pushed? Push and hold for 2 seconds.
