I would like to add a few comments...
For community guys:
You can jump directly to Remote Managemet page (without redirecting from fail) by entering: http://YOU-ORBI-ROUTER-IP/FW_remote.htm
For Netgear team:
I don't have time to dig into GUI code, but there is set "enable_ap_flag" to 1 and then Remote Management is disabled too (except other required items).
Removing Remote Management out of this dependancy - when "enable_ap_flag=1" will fix the issue and users will be able to set Remote Management accordingly.
If I change in adv_index.htm
var enable_ap_flag="<% cfg_get("ap_mode") %>";//bug 24666 according to the page 128 of spec 2.0,add AP mode
to
var enable_ap_flag=0;
then I get enabled all items in Advanced Setup menu. This is not for regular users, because they can mess up the configuration if they can see all options without knowing the consequences. Would you be so kind and fix this in next release, please.
