mike1110 I finally figured it out and told Netgear how to fix it. I could tell this was a cookie problem since that always seemed to help for a while after clearing all my netgear cookies but it would come back. So I spent an hour reproducing the issue and watching which cookies get set with Chrome dev tools navigating into different parts of the portal. There are some parts of the insight portal that will set an empty organization_Id cookie. When that gets set, and you click certain tabs like the Wireless tab, you will hit Invalid session and get logged out. That cookie persists from session to session, so unless you constantly clear it, you will eventually hit it again. With this info, hopefully Netgear will fix this. Until then, if you are a victim of this, just have developer tools running side by side. If you see organization_Id cookie get set, delete it.
