The Netgear Genie WNDR3400v2 is my near least favorite device. The people who make shitty consumer-grade routers have gone ever further in the narrower-use-case and dumber-customer direction to the point where the router basically sets itself up, which is unfortunate because they didn't include a step for reading my mind to get the network settings I want. The simple act of plugging in a cable into the internet port causes their shitty automatic wizard to render irreparable harm to the configuration that can only be undone by a hard reset.
The morons who designed Ubuntu decided they needed to fuck with the different run levels. Instead of run levels 1-6, Ubuntu basically has two different run levels: useless, and everything. I can't imagine why they would do this. The stupid people they market their distro to don't know what run levels are. And almost everyone in the universe who does know what runlevels are wants runlevel 3 to be multi-user, network enabled mode. Runlevel 3 is known in some languages as turn-off-that-bloated-graphical-shit-runlevel. So far all of the information I see requires you to identify which graphical login ubuntu is using and kill that. You're still not in the real runlevel three; you simply broke 5.
If you have a recent version of ubuntu, here is the easiest way to pretend you are at runlevel 3:
sudo killall lightdm
