Did grab a copy as you suggested. Stupid Question: I'm not familiar with .rar files. Can you point me in the proper direction?? Thanks.
If you are installing a Windows version of the genie, Windows itself can guide you in the right direction.
The usual "double click" move on a rar file will offer to visit the Microsoft Store for software to handle rar files.
There are dozens of choices. 7-Zip, WinZip or UnRar have been around for a while.Ignore invitations to pay for anything.
Going down the Microsoft Store route means that less risk that you will t end up visiting somewhere slightly dodgy.

I'm a fan of just using the browser GUI for accessing/using it.

Do you means the desktop genie for your operating system.

This invaluable tool has several benefits that you won't get using the browser interface.

Grab a copy before Netgear tries to hide it again.
