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'm getting the same thing. I don't want this...ever! It's ridiculous and insulting. Why not show professionalism by adding a checkbox "Don't show this again."?
Seriously. What kind of amateur did this?
I agree this "Enable Smart Parental Controls on Your Router" popup is extremely annoying. I log into the router often and have to close it. It's someting that'll make me think twice before buying another Netgear router.
- If any of their engineers are reaching this, this is a major bug. Having a blocking advert prevents the nighthawk app from connecting to the router.
The Adblock solutions area not for everyone. Fix the solution, and then it's recommended to turn off auto firmware updates if they are only to add spam to routers!
