Re: Netgear Genie App for Android - Login Remote access - No Internet connection detected.

Re: Netgear Genie App for Android - Login Remote access - No Internet connection detected.

I have been intouch with Level 2 Support and they are aware of the problem and are working hard to correct it.  They gave me a Beta to try.  It did eliminate the problem of showing No internet connection detected, but was very slow when accessing remotely away from the actual router (operating remotely on site worked perfect).  I sent them a very detailed report so I hope they will get back soon with further corrections.  I too think there is a problem with their information server, but I have no problem at all when I use the PC app, so I do not know if there are different servers involved or if it is a problem in the android interface..  The only issues are when the Android app is used.

Re: Netgear Genie App for Android - Login Remote access - No Internet connection detected.

Hi,

There are still major problems.  Today both apps one for PC and Android do not work as the remote access server is down.  They were to call back today and talk to me, but I have not heard anything yet.  I think they must be working on the server and waiting until it is back up again.  Until that is fixed all of us are out of luck.  I will keep all informed as to the progress being made and we will see you get a link when they have something that works on a consistant basis.

Re: Netgear Genie App for Android - Login Remote access - No Internet connection detected.

The Remote server is up and running again.  Support contacted me that they are running tests to see if they can reproduce the issues I am seeing with the Android App Beta.  Now I am seeing the same slow responce and need to refresh a page several times to populate on the PC App as well as the Android Beta.  I have sent Support an analysis of current operational issues and will keep all informed as to progress that is made.

Yes, I was told that the Support team is aware this has happened to a bunch of people and are working to correct the situation asap. They are communicating with the software engineers to apply the necessary fixes on the Genie App before adding it to the official release. Hopefully they will figure out what happened soon and we will get a much improved product.

I'm sure most of us appreciate your efforts and somewhat success on this.  All of mine seemed to go nowhere and end with aggrivation.  So I definately look forward to your responses.  I gratefully say "THANK YOU" for your efforts with this.

Re: Netgear Genie App for Android - Login Remote access - No Internet connection detected.

I have the same problem with my R6400 (AC1750)

Remote app doesn't work on phone (No internet Connection detected)

 A few days ago, I think I created an account using the desktop app. If I try again now, it says

"The system failed to respond at this moment, try again later"

 

BUGGY BUGGY BUGGY.

This tells me it is not stricktly an android problem.

 

I need something that works...shopping for something else.

If you have an Android phone make sure to go give their app a nice review for such a poor sense of urgency to fix this. I'm going to reconsider Netgear for personal use and stop recommending them at my job.

Re: Netgear Genie App for Android - Login Remote access - No Internet connection detected.

Ok done more research and them rude pricks at netgear know of the problem and u can run the test yourselves download genie for desktop and do netgear speedtest it is as low as 5.1 Kbps and app needs 10 to log in securly so yes we have been lied to nothing we can do. We have enough people for a class action against netgear but the best thing we can do is get router reviewed and compare with other competitors and they wont like being last place in reviews best of luck people

Re: Netgear Genie App for Android - Login Remote access - No Internet connection detected.

So after opening up two tickets with them, maybe 10 emails back and forth and several posts here, I was finally given the beta apk and that one works. I cannot provide it here as they first ask you to accept an agreement with them, but I would suggest that you open a ticket as well and request the beta which will work until the official release irons out any bugs. Its a bit slow and it does not detect the usb drive in readyshare, but readycloud does, so that is not an issue. Also it does not give the right error message when you input the wrong password making you think servers are down, so verify your password on the website, if you use the beta.

There is a workaround. Login to your router. Go to the "Advanced" tab, then to "Advanced Setup". Click on "Remote Management". Check the box that says "Turn on remote management". Underneath there's a "Remote Management Address". Copy and paste it to your browser, and you can do it that way.

Re: Netgear Genie App for Android - Login Remote access - No Internet connection detected.

BTW, the remote access workaround is very flaky. I find that I need to reboot my router every few days or it will stop working. Also, I seem to have to continually re-log in during a remote seesion as it seems to think I am from a different IP address or something even though I am accessing it from the same computer/device. Would be nice if they got the app fixed sometime soon. Thanks to all those pushing them to fix this.....

Re: Netgear Genie App for Android - Login Remote access - No Internet connection detected.

Not really a work around..the router can be managed remotely through a web address like pretty much any router in the past few years. The problem here is that the official app from netgear is not working. But the beta does work, just no release date for it.

Google Play offers a Beta function in which you can subscribe to Beta versions of apps. The Android client even lists them in a separate tab. 

 

Netgear, please open up a Beta version participation for those of us complaining about this. I need to log into my router this morning and neither web remote access or the Genie app are working, both functioned fine a few months ago!

Re: Netgear Genie App for Android - Login Remote access - No Internet connection detected.

Your post was a month ago, Dexter. How about some news? Your Android app team is prolonging an issue that prevents using a feature that is clearly advertised by Netgear. Bad reviews and customer dissatisfaction will only increase.... 😉

NETGEAR... Seriously?

 

It's been over one month since this issue was reported!!!

 

I, like many others, have been experiencing this problem and anticipating a timely solution from you.

 

What is the problem?  When will a solution be provided?

Re: Netgear Genie App for Android - Login Remote access - No Internet connection detected.

Netgear i am in agreement with the community. One of the main features that made us buy this box was remote capabilities and with that currently down everyone is upset and the response from your team is very poor. If you dont rectify this issue and communicate better with the community you will indeed loose millions of customers. Not good enough at alll
