Reviews of NETGEAR Genie

  • 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!

  • Local Access stopped working altogether

    This app has never been great. After I first purchased the device it worked alright. A lot of the features in the app were not supported by my router which was disappointing but not really an issue. Recently I have not been able to access my router at all. I am connected to the WiFi and select local access and every time I enter my password it pops up directions for connecting to the local network. I was hoping this would be fixed eventually with an update but that was several versions ago. Maybe they will eventually fix the issues.

  • The latest update needs an update 👎🏽

    4th review -
    The app stopped working after iOS 14 update. I can’t login, can’t access my network to do any modifications to my modem router. NETGEAR THIS APP NEEDS AN UPDATE ASAP! Right now it’s trash just crowding my device’s space.

    3rd Review - A) Password has been reset to default "password"..? Why would you need to do that? B) the app crashes right after logging in rendering the app useless. I'm on the latest iOS 10.2.1, & can't even use the app. Update the update! Look at the reviews you are getting Netgear!

    2nd Review -
    I guess it worked when I deleted and downloaded the app & logged in.

    1st Review -
    Who in the world would update their app to perform worst? Netgear, that's who. As it is happening to everybody else I can't login to my app & router since this update. I'm locked out of my own router. Netgear, if you are paying attention you need to redo the update; Update the "update".
