Re: Can't login to router via Genie
Which router is this?
You may have given the forum this information, but it has not passed it on to the rest of us.
You should be able to find old firmware in the Netgear support area, but first you need to know what router you have.

Re: Can't login to router via Genie
A couple of thoughts, have you tried telling the desktop genie to login "manually", using the IP address? This has worked for me in the past.
Do you have the latest version of the desktop genie. I am now on 2.4.46, but only because I went and looked for it.

Netgear is good at sneaking out new versions without telling anyone. Unlike most modern stuff it does not have an obvious "check for updates" option within the software. But there is an "Upgrade" option if you right click the icon in the notification area. It might work, but it failed when I tried it on a spare PC.

Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, I have tried doing the manual login & it doesn't work. And, I have the same version of Genie that you do. So, as long as I can login to my router using my browser, I'll just ignore Genie. It would be nice, though, if Netgear would realize that there is some kind of problem here. Thanks again.

Re: Can't login to router via Genie
Evidently, my Netgear Genie problem was with my DSL carrier...Centurylink. They had a major power outage yesterday that lasted for at least 20 hr. Once they fixed it, my Netgear Genie logged into my router without any trouble. I hope this helps someone.
