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 agree that this is a royal PITA and needs to be fixed.

    Can everyone that is experiencing this issue list me the router model they have so I can report this to the engineers for each model.

      R7000 with latest firmware (updated today) shows this ad. 

      I find it comical that the moderator here needs a list of models this ad is popping up on, when Netgear knows very well that this was a deliberate act.

        Netgear acting like they don't know which routers have this Circle advertising.
