When logged in to router - contantly request password

When I login to the router and after a few minutes I am prompted for the password again.

 

I can find no way to extend the time of this prompt.  It is extremely annoying!!

 

How can I turm this off or extend the time?

    Clear your browser caches. Try using a different browser...

    Shouldn't be asking you to log in again unless you have not done anything in a real long time or unless you log out.

      Well… I, too, find the timeout on the Orbi's web page to be too short - and I haven't spotted anything that would seem to prolong it in the NVRAM contents.

       

      Too bad… I'd really like it to be 30 mins. or whatever I like…

    I've tried this on Edge, Chrome and IE with the same results.

     

    However, if I cancel the prompt and do not enter credentials, the application still works.

     

    So for now, I just ignore it.
