the security questions are ones the user selects and inputs the answers. Netgear just gives you a choice of which ones. If you picked one and don't answer it correct, that's on the end user.

except I know the answers to my security questions and they still get marked wrong. even accounting for some brute force attempts that cover basic typos nothing works. So it is not an end user problem when one knows the answers and there is no recovery method if the software itself fails. also why even have security answers that are mandatory? can we not allow the user to have control over whether or not they want to use security questions in the first place?
