Bit late to the party here, but if anyone else is still having hassle with this, here's an easy way to prevent the SSO login ... Note this will *only* work for access point mode ...
First off you need to set a static ip address for the access point lan port. Obvioulsy the ip that you pick must be valid for your network segment, but *not* be in use by anything else on your network segment, and prefereably not used by your dhcp server either. Finally once you have selected an ip address, then set the default router to an ip address on your network segment that is not in use by anything. Then save the data and wait for it to reboot.
If the netgear access point can't actiually contact a real default router, it can't send any data off the local network. Therefore the SSO stuff cannot phone home,
Note that a side effect of this will be that auotmatic updates and check for firmware stuff will not work (for the same reason). The device will also warn you that it cannot see the internet (but that is the idea).
