I've had this "issue" on multiple Netgear routers/platforms.  For me it's intermittent though and I never know when it will happen.  I've seen it happen to me on my own PC where I'm trying to connect to the admin page and I've previously logged in - but I've also seen it when I browse to the admin page from an entirely new device and it just lets me right in.
