WNR2000v5 after latest software update nothing works.
I was told i should update my Genie to the latest (MAC) version. Ever since I did that, the program won't quit when I want it to. I have to force quit. Now this morning, it stopped doing anything. I get the opening HOME screen and that's it. What do I do now? Thanks.
Okay great, thanks a lot for your help I certainly appreciate it. A new router might be a great Xmas present to myself? Have a great day.

You don't need the genie to access the router. You can access it through the browser. try www.routerlogin.net
If you truly want the genie, you could try uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling. Maybe something was corrupt during install.
I guess I don't understand what function the genie serves, beyond a way of monitoring the system? Can I just throw it in the trash and be done with it? Thanks.

In my opinion, the genie app is pointless. Even netgear is phasing it out slowly.
I generally prefer the online browser or worse case, the app to manage my netgear devices.
