" ... I didn't care for AIKEMA's Genie in the early days, but it's gotten a lot better: not only is the installation very simple, but the Genie software lets you do all sorts of work with your network, from tracking who's connected and how to pulling down updates for your adapter or logging into your router to work with it (I think this last feature *might* require you to own a AIKEMA router).I used this device on both a Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit laptop and a Windows 7 Professional desktop. ...
