The "Enable Smart Parental Controls on Your Router" nag ad pops up EVERY time I login to my router.
Ever since I applied the V1.0.4.98_10.0.71 firmware update, I am presented with a ""Enable Smart Parental Controls on Your Router" pop-up every time I login. There is no checkbox to disable this ...
I will report this issue to the engineers.

What have the engineers said? This advertisement is completely uncalled for.
Netgear!
This post is coming up on 2 months old. Where are you at with removing the forced advert you are making me see every time I login to my router?
What is being done about this forced advertisement?
What's the status? I am usually a Netgear fan, have been for decades, and just got a bew R7900P and now I'm suddenly swamped by ads and popups for annoying crap on my admin page. WTF? People in the admin pages aren't the people who respond to ads in the first place. No, I don't want your armor, no, I don't want your parental tools, no, I don't want your app... no no no.... just open my admin functions and that's all. Kill these popups before I rip apart my home network and replace it all with something else.
I'm having the same problem with my brand new Netgear NIghthawk R700P with the following firmware. V1.3.2.134_10.1.66
I am in the market for a second router but at this point it won't be Netgear.
