NETGEAR Discovery Tool
NETGEAR Discovery Tool is a network utility developed by NETGEAR that helps users discover and identify NETGEAR devices on their local network. The tool automatically scans the network to find NETGEAR routers, switches, access points, and other networking equipment, displaying their IP addresses, model numbers, firmware versions, and basic configuration details. It's primarily used by network administrators and home users who need to locate and manage multiple NETGEAR devices on their network. The tool provides a simple interface for basic device discovery and can serve as a starting point for accessing device management interfaces.

1 suggestionBased on available information, NETGEAR Discovery Tool appears to be a legacy application that has not been updated for Apple Silicon compatibility. The search results show NETGEAR has moved away from standalone desktop utilities like this tool and Netgear Genie in favor of web-based management and mobile apps. For discovering NETGEAR devices on your network, you can use built-in network scanning features in macOS Network Utility, or try native alternatives like Network Radar or LanScan, which are actively maintained and offer Apple Silicon support. Many NETGEAR device management functions are now handled through the device's web interface or NETGEAR's mobile apps.
