Disable external Access
How do you disable http access to the router. When I type http://myip into a browser, I get a login prompt to routerlogin. How do I disable that?
Are you trying this from a remote location outside the home or trying this while at home on the same network?
Microchip8 - I did not turn it on and would not enable that, however, I did update the router 2 weeks ago. How do I turn it off? I have looked through all the settings and nothing stands out.
michaelkenward- I would like to disable HTTP access from my external NAT. Internally is fine but I do not want exposure externally.

External http access isn't enabled.
Netgear disabled external ways in when it killed remote management and and ReadyCLOUD.
When I hit my external ip, issued by the ISP, I get a prompt for a login for routerlogin.net. How do I get rid of this prompt?
Check for Remote Access features under advanced Tab, Security or Admin. If you seen check box for this feature, uncheck the box and apply.
What FW version is loaded on your router?
I do not have Remote Access features anywhere. My FW is V1.0.11.216_10.2.122, which was the latest 2 weeks ago.

You are 100% correct. I was hitting my external nat from inside to the outside and did not even think to test it completely offsite. Thanks everyone for the help.
