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 ...
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.
Thanks

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.
It's a common tactic to push the issue out. Ask for more data. They clearly know which firmware was built with this code. DarrenM What is the scheduled release date for the updated firmware? I need to update my case with the Better Busines Bureau. And follow other means of filing complaints, etc.
