Is a subscription required for BR200?

I just purchased a new BR200 router.  First thing I see is I get 1 year free subscription.  What happens when the subscription runs out?  Does my router still work?  Can I still configure it?  Or, do I have to throw it in the trash?  I will not pay for a subscription for cloud management when I don't need it.  Thanks.

    The BR200 can be fully managed using it's local Web UI in all features. There is no need to use the Insight environment.

     

    Insight makes much sense when the router is combined with Netgear cloud manageable switches and wireless access points, and is worth every penny for such an environment.
