Netgear Genie Still Crashing
Netgear Genie crashes EVERY time it is launched within seconds of running the desktop app (Win7) ... just like myriad other users of this (poor) desktop app: Faulting application name: NETGEARGenie.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x501f2662 Faulting module name: SvtNetworkTool.dll, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x507d1e59 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x000014ad Faulting process id: 0x20c0 Faulting application start time: 0x01d3858bfc9e24b5 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\NETGEAR Genie\bin\NETGEARGenie.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\NETGEAR Genie\bin\SvtNetworkTool.dll Report Id: 3ba65cb5-f17f-11e7-8629-864332c57706 Given the problem has existed for YEARS in various forms, is there any full and complete solution ... yet!!!?

Netgear Genie won't quit on Mac OS X
This is to revive the "closed" discussion thread with the same title at https://community.netgear.com/t5/Home-Networking-Apps/Netgear-Genie-won-t-quit-on-Mac-OS-X/m-p/1145204#M717 from January 2016, which is misleadingly marked as "solved": what is actually provided there is a hack that "solves" the issue with NETWORK Genie hanging when "quit" by sacrificing/disabling functionality through renaming of a library file. (at the same time, NETWORK Genie is unstable and does crash -- please see the topical thread.) Any hopes for this being addressed anytime soon? Alternatively: is there any official position/recommendation by NETGEAR to use open source linux-based software on a R7800 Nighthawk X4? Thank you!
