RAX120 - No Prompt for Admin Password
I have an RAX120 set for AP mode. Everything seems to be working well, but I've noticed one strange thing. I configured an admin password for logging into the configuration page, but every time I access the router config page, it goes straight to the config and doesn't prompt me for a password. This happens on any device on the network (I verified just in case password was stored/cached.) Any ideas on what might be wrong and how to enable admin login requirement?

It may fall into one of the many features mentioned here:
Disabled Features on the Router when set to AP Mode | Answer | NETGEAR Support
I'm accessing the configuration page via the IP address. I did review the list of disabled features. However, I would imagine that requiring a login for the configuration page, even in AP mode, shouldn't be a disabled feature. I'm trying to determine if this is a bug with the router firmware/interface, or if there is some setting I'm missing that requires an admin login. It wouldn't make sense to allow whoever can connect to the router to be able to access the configuration without an admin password.
Tried a different browser?
