A better option is to visit the support pages and to download any updates from there.
Visit the support pages:Support | NETGEARFeed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.That page will also have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist.
The latest update was four years ago:
A7000 Software Version 1.0.0.15 (Windows) | Answer | NETGEAR Support
Im not looking software, your link is for genie software 🙂 Within genie software you should be able to update firmware..
I dont see any other way to update usb stick since it does not have its own web frontend or ui...

Did you read my message?
The way to update the usb stick is to download the software and run the program it delivers.
Try reading this again:
To Install: Using the Download Link below, download and extract the new software to a convenient place such as your desktop. Download Link: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/A7000/A7000_V1.0.0.15_Windows.zip
In other words, it is the same process as just about anything you need to update on a computer.
If you need the Mac version, that is there too.
Yes.
I explained how to achieve what you need, an update for your USB adapter.
Feel free to keep hammering away with the "genie". Life, and Netgear, have moved on since then.
Maybe you don't really t want to update the USB adapter. But I can't think of any other use for the "genie".
