Authentication required
Hi! When I try to access certain websites (many that require login), I get errors: "authentication required" with spot for username and password if on chrome.
On Firefox, error reads: "signupgenius.com [or whatever site trying to access] is requesting your username and password. The site says: "NETGEAR Orbi""
When I do enter any user Id password, I get a 401 error.
What can I do? It seems a security issue?
Thank you

- PS appears to be happening on all devices flowing through Orbi internet including phone. I can't get on these sites via my phone either if in wifi mode. I can if on LTE
