If I purchase the new NetGear Genie, do I have to also have to purchase this item to make it work? My internet comes through my Verizon telephone.

I have no answer, not tech. savy. I only purchased the modem, nothing else, and my Netgear unit does work just fine.

If you have DSL, this won't work. If you have cable ie. Fios this will work. You will need a router in addition to the NetGear Genie which is a software application.

The short answer is no. Netgear Genie is a free-to-download home network management software you can run from your desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone to monitor and manage your home network.

Netgear Genie is free software used to interface with Netgear routers and modems. In order to use the Netgear Genie software one must own a Netgear router or modem. If the question is referring to compatibility with Netgear Genie and this particular modem the answer is yes, but only when directly connected to it with an Ethernet cable, since it is not a WiFi modem. This in my opinion defeats the purpose of interfacing this particular modem with Netgear Genie software since you can do the same interface with any internet browser. Network Genie is mostly for ease of use with WiFi routers. Hope this helps. Netgear Genie is free software used to interface with Netgear routers and modems.

yes, but remember it is for a $50 wireless adapter. They offered it to me when I was getting ready to check out and I agreed and paid for it and everything. Then, as soon as I let them know there's a problem and the vendor will not refund because it is passed 15 days, the manufacturer, Netgear, says no too as it was not purchased from them??? And so as a last resort I figured the insurance plan should pay me something. But I was wrong.

If you were able to post your question, then you get internet. But if you want to buy this router, then you will need to have an internet provider to install the wire that connects to this router's WAN port (Wide Area Network, aka the internet).

This device can only connect to your existing network over wifi. It clearly says that in the manual. I had to return mine assuming that this device would have an access point mode, but after 45 minutes on a chat with support they confirmed it could not. If you want an access point from Netgear you need to buy a router and turn it into access point mode.

It takes a little knowledge, but I am sure that you can set this up. You can always cal Netgear help for extra assistance. You will want to download Netgear Genie from their website and that program will solve many issues. I am happy with this product. It rarely goes down. I suggest that you reset it once a week (turn it off for fifteen seconds, then turn it on again) and keep up on the software updates. I keep Netflix on the faster Wifi. You have the option of 2 separate Wifi frequencies.

I did that today. My phone is active right now WiFi only. I received two free texts from Verizon, so I know the phone is working. I also bought a 15 minute card, but didn't activate it. I set up an account at MyVerizon. They didn't ask for any money.

If you have firmware version V1.1.0.12 there is no other firmware needed. If you have a question: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14239/~/wn2000rpt-faqs

I have it with centurylink, actually had it. I scrapped it and purchased a netgear. It was useless for me.

Hello. If you will need to get on the Web away from your wireless (whether that be at home or work), then yes, you will need to add it to your Verizon service. For us, we didn't have to, since everywhere we go, we can connect to wireless Internet. You can also purchase a plug in adapter that fits into any standard wall outlet and get WIFI without having to purchase extra WIFI service through Verizon. We have one that I bought here on Amazon, and that seems to work well. Hope this helps. Try a universal WI-FI repeater and extender search on Amazon if you don't wan't/need to purchase extra service. It may be less expensive for you. Hello. If you will need to get on the Web away from your wireless (whether that be at home or work), then yes, you will need to add it to your Verizon service.

No. This item has been used. But this one I received is almost new. You must contact your Internet provider with ip address from the router before it can work for you.

I had that same issue. Netgear wants you to pay for their assistance. V1.1.0.12 is all you need. Check the links below for the users manual.

Sorry - I have no idea! Once you hook the Netgear player to your tv it should guide you through the steps to access your wireless internet service.

I don't think so. When I ordered the item, they told me to ask for the Verizon modem. I think there is specific software that links this modem to the company.

An account with Verizon is required. They have to program the modem's seral number into their system in order for it to work. There is nothing free in life.

Sorry... I've given up on this piece of junk. I could look up again on Google or their site about how to update it but it didn't help me fix the unit's problems. Get it hard wired into your WiFi unit if you do attempt to update it. DiecTV upgraded me to their Genie units thus removing any further need I would have for the WET610N.

I'm not sure I would contact them to find out. If they say Netgear works it will. Ps don't buy referbished!! Netgear will not give support without fee unless its a new unit. And at that its only for 1 year then a fee if needing help after that. I have a Belkin now and I love it!

Netgear claims that you can add additional devices, but when I tried to add 2 more they didn't work. I'm going to try with TP-Link and see if I can get additional devices to work. Some people report getting devices from different manufacturers to work together, but Netgear won't even work with their own devices.
