web interfaces

Since there is little to no documentation for this I'm asking here. I know Linksys has been pushing primary mgmt using their limited phone app. Is NetGear doing the same thing? I see a phone app at least *can* be used but the product pages for the Wifi 6 routers that I'm looking at to buy one of doesn't state whether a phone app must be used. And if there is still the traditional web interface is it dumbed down like the new Linksys web interfaces are or is it still full-featured?

 

thanks

       Where did you look?  (For what?)

     

       I don't study Netgear's new product releases, so I know nothing, but,
    if I wanted to know something about a particular model, then I'd try a
    widely neglected technique:

     

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in the relevant model number,
    and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.  Is
    the management web site described there?  Does it offer the features of
    interest?

       My dim impression was that the Netgear apps were generally less
    comprehensive than the management web site(s).  I don't use Netgear
    apps.
