Genie popup question at every login

Since the last router update everytime I start up Genie app I always get a caution popup asking to accept or deny incoming connections.  I have configured the OS firewall to accept the app to handle known incoming connections but it just keeps on happening on every Genie startup.  Is this message asking if I want to accept unfamiliar connections?  And how do I configure so I don't get this popup each time I login?

Running Mac os Sierra 10.12.6

 

I have the same question?  I never know what to answer, when  I  am asked by the Genie app to Allow or Deny incomming connections each time I restart my Mac???  Does this refer to other devices i have in my home?  Such as  iphones,  computers, ipads, Tv's, Ring doorbell. ETC....ALL OF WHICH ON MY WIFI ???  Or does it refer to OUTSIDERS trying to access my router?????  I have googled this to death and cant find an answer??? Thanks to whomever can shed light on this???  If there is a Netgear GURU here, kindly answer the question.  Thx

Hi Dexter - Thank you for following up.  I've read thru the replies you've sent, but nothing has worked yet.  The Netgear drop-down menu won't even list my correct model number - AC2300 R700P.....grhhh!
