    There are parts of the Orbi web interface that do require the user to reauthenticate frequently, particularly the Attached Devices screen.  It is horribly annoying.  Not so bad when it simply pops up over the Attached Devices screen, but I often have multiple browser windows open and the authentication screen pops over a different screen where I am typing, so I type over the "admin" field and have to reenter it.  On the Attached Devices screen, my browser fills in the password so I just click Enter.

     

    There is an alternate version of the Attached Devices screen which modifies the timeout so that no longer happens:

      Way COOL and the graphics a prettier too, even though they are all wrong.:smileyvery-happy:

       

      OOPs take back what I said, you can't click on the devices or you get a 404 error.
