Model R9000 - Netgear Genie Software

I need to reinstall netgear genie on a new computer and i did not receive a cd/dvd when i purchased my router.  Where can I get a copy of Netgear Genie?  It does not show up on any of the software download sites.

    Netgear is doing its best to hide the desktop genie. It recently dropped the software from the usual place.

     

    The latest sighting was here:

     

    genie Landing Page | Apps | Discover | Home | NETGEAR

     

    Get it while you can.

      Went to the recommended site however there is no place to download the Netgear Genie software.  All this link points to are apps to load on mobile devices.  I need to install the software on a PC.

        I don't know what you clicked, but it goes to the software here.
