Reviews of NETGEAR Genie

10/10

Love the app and settings are awesome

Difficult to find support Red X ‘Not Enabled’ ?

The app has gotten worse as certain features stop working or say “router doesn’t support this feature” when it did before/

Suddenly we realize there is an impossible situation to locate simple things in manual or community groups about a icon Wi-Fi shows up too left supposed to be the name of the router according to the manual .

But mine shows

“Not Enabled” with a red ‘x’

This doesn’t mean our Wi-Fi is not working
It is indeed.

But we can no longer access from network
Or only local
Not Remote

Logging in Remote shows
“Select which router you want to access”

There is none showing

I think I found other places it says “this router doesn’t support that feature “

Enough to say that 50percent of this app is broken

I tried the nighthawk just for the sake
But it’s not working

Only this older Genie or most current works

I will say
It does let local network channel changes and basic information about the network grid of devices etc
So it’s not really broken but

The fact that now it seems to have issues more than usual

And it’s not really a network issue

But a app issue

We reboot using this app

But cannot get this app to stop showing the

“Wi-Fi” NOT ENABLED “x” color red.

Please anyone explain what this is?
Because Google and community net gear is impossible!

Thanks!

Splendid App!

I have been using a Net Gear router from the very beginning of my using wifi. In my opinion , it is kind of good that user can have some controls over this device such as changing name & password in an easy way. I am not sure I found the option 'administration' through which people can update the device's firmware as it's possible in the PC or laptop, so if not, it would be way better app for users.
