KNOWN ISSUE: Login problems using latest Chrome version
On the latest version of Chrome (77.0.3865.75) we have identified an issue where users may have trouble logging into their Netgear Nighthawk Pro Gaming router. This affects the XR300, XR450, XR500 and XR700.
Instead of asking for a username and password as normal, the router will instead direct you straight to the Password Recovery page.
We are aware of this issue and all relevant parties have been notified, there will be a fix as soon as possible.

For the time being, we recommend that you manage your router using a different browser. We have confirmed that the issue does not affect Firefox or Edge.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
A workaround for this issue has been found:
Paste the following address into your Chrome address bar and press enter: chrome://flags/#http-auth-committed-interstitials
Change the highlighted setting to Disabled and press Relaunch Now
Now you should be able to log in as normal again

Seeing this on my ReadyNAS 204 as well. Running 6.10.2-T49 (Beta 1)
- Must be something Chrome have done with their update, I'm sure a lot of companies will have deploy fixes on their side.
Be aware of what Mozilla and Google are going to be doing to there browsers:

Not sure if this will be effecting local router log in pages or not.
For people using Chrome v77, other users have said that doing a reboot of the PC fixes how Chrome works with the log in pages.
Linux, not sure how that will play out. Others I believe are Windows users.
