Remove redirection to accounts.netgear.com
Recently my router got firmaware update and now when I try to login it first tries to connect to accounts.netgear.com and then redirects from there back to my local router address. Not talking about ...

Yes, I tried. It changes nothing

I didn't know that. Thank you for this information. I just noticed, that a few months ago the modem interface changed, it forced me to change login credentials and now it always tries to call an URL like that:
https://accounts.netgear.com/serial?redirectUrl=http://192.168.0.1/sso.cgi&serial_num=xxxxxxxxxxx
My current firmware version is V1.02.11. I wonder why my ISP would force my router to connect to Netgear, every time I login.
Anyway I'm planning to try another ISP soon, so we'll see if anything changes

Gory details here:
If your firmware is outdated, you cannot manually upgrade your cable modem’s or modem router’s firmware. You must contact your Internet service provider (ISP) to upgrade your firmware.
