How to load APP without accepting free trial or Data Analytics? MK73S

Simple request.  I don't want free 30 trial of a pile on software nor do I agree to Netgear getting my data usage data free.

 

IS the app and equipment useable?  There's no way to not accept.

 

Forced acceptance is neither free nor acceptable.

    Set up the system using a wired PC and web browser, then log into the NH app. 

    Look for a (x) on the app display page, top left or right?

      No X to close on the APP, it's accept or nothing.

       

      For wired access our newer laptop no longer have wired ethernet ports.  Seems foolish to have to refurbish my old laptop just to get a wired ethernet port.

       

      I suppose I could accept, set up, revoke rights, but that's pointless, they'll have taken what they want and sold it anyway.
