Disable redirection to mywifiext.net

Hi,

I own a WN3000RP repeater, and I need to disable the setup wizard.
Sometimes I have to reboot my main router for maintenance purpose and in this case users connected to the repeater are redirected to the setup wizard.

I clearly understand that the setup wizard is helpful for noobs, but in my case this setup is definitely not user friendly: the redirection to mywifiext.net is absolutely not acceptable in an enterprise production environment.

WN3000RP will be the perfect repeater if we could disable this setup wizard in the configuration.

Thanks for your help.
Regards.

    Hi, Thanks for the reply, so the answer is: "do not buy Netgear for the software but only for the hardware". Ok it's noted.

    If that your personal take then that is your choice.

    Using consumer level products are usually meant to be at consumer level to setup at ease. You need more configurable products then should look enterprise devices
