Firmware update problem
When I try to access the router login page, it keeps wanting to reset my password. Is that necessary?

How are you going about this?
What message do you actually get?
Is this with a web browser and the graphical user interface (GUI)?
Did you ever change the login password? By default is is password. In recent firmware, Netgear likes to urge people to change that.
In decades of using these things, I have never found it necessary to faff around with browsers, caches and passwords.
Is this what you ate doing?
