I had to add my distaste for this nagging piece of adware on a product I purchased and own. Grrrrr ... I can't imagine the revenue stream was monumental enough to warrant irritating every single netgear admin on the planet. Everytime I login or refresh my browser it feels like a Netgear salesman is just laughing at me via that circle pop-up ... and there's nothing I can do ... except replace my netgear routers ... which, I will since it's time for a refresh in a few offices and we're not as integrated with something like meraki or ubiquiti. I'm a longtime netgear user here but forcing an ad on me is about as disrespectful as you can possibly get. Good luck Netgear!
