Something customers typically pay little attention to when purchasing things. See Section 23:
https://www.netgear.com/about/terms-and-conditions/
In addition, most routers are provided with "90 days of complimentary support" after which customers must enroll in one of the (paid) support plans. This is what caused most of us to come to the Community Forum.
Netgear's smartphone apps seem to require two sets of credentials.
- The Netgear account (email address and password), and
- The router web interface account ("admin" and a password).
It is not always obvious which the app is asking for.
