Router tries to go to routerlogin.net while I'm already monitoring it?
I've been trying to monitor the Geo-Filter while playing a game and randomly the router will decide on it's own to "refresh" or something and try to go to https://routerlogin.net/ which Firefox then brings up as a security risk. I understand that it's not really a risk it's just bad certificates cause Netgear didn't renew them or whatever but why is the router deciding on its own to change the page WHILE I'M USING IT? I used the 192.168.1.1 to access it so it's not an issue of me trying to go to a different page myself, it's the router doing it on its own.
It's not even a case of me being idle or something and it trying to automatically kick me for safety reasons, I'm actively on the Geo-Filter page and even clicking different things. Then it just decides to attempt to go to the other page instead?
- It's not changing the page specifically, it's timing out and requiring you to login again

Is there a setting I can change for it to not do that while I'm using the page?
- Unfortunately not no, that's a hardcoded timeout by NG. I'm not sure what the specific timeframe is but it could be between 5-30 minutes. Try the DumaOS app on your phone instead, it may prevent that happening
