Can't log into genie
Hi everyone, I'm new here and hope someone can help. I can't log in into the Genie APP because I don't have a password. It says the default password is "password", but it doesn't work. I've also tried using the WiFi password and my Netgear account's password, nothing. How do I log in?
Thanks,
Lorenzo
It's the same admin account password as configured on the router. As a D7000 does unlikely work straight away from the box (some basic config is required, e.g. DSL settings, carrier authentication, ...) I suspect that the default password was changed before.
This is the same password you use to login on the router Web interface e.g. when using routerlogin.net .

What are you doing when you try to login? And what do you mean by the genie app?
The genie could be one of several things, the browser interface, a Windows or Mac program for a PC, or a mobile Android/iThing app. Netgear labels them all as genies. Which are you using?
If you are trying to manage a modem/router, the best way in is with a browser and the graphical user interface.

I try to log in, for example, to change the router settings and it asks me for a password I don't have and the suggested default "password" doesn't work.
This is the Genie APP I downloaded from Netgrear's website for Windows (7)
