Farewell Netgear
Because of ads on the admin pages I am binning my R8000 router and looking for a different make, and will never recommend netgear again,.which I always used to. Can anyone suggest a good make and...
The banner ad for the app along the top and the black box which obscures a menu item on the left hand side. These appeared with the last firmware update, which I suppose was marginally better than the circle ad. I know of no other company that puts this sort of rubbish on their settings screens. I could have just about tolerated a small message suggesting using the app.

Is that the Nighthawk app?
And that is on the browser graphical user interface (GUI)?
Details always help when you want to beat Netgear around the head with complaints that need fixing.
Yes it is an ad for the Nighthawk app and appears on the admin pages for the router. There have been a few other threads on here complaining about them.
Probably a firmware issue.
Nothing like that on the R7800.

Can you point me at one with a screenshot?
I dont have the time or inclination to search the forum for threads which have moved along several pages, but here is a screen shot of one of my admin pages, where you will see the black banner at the top and the item in the left side which partially obscures a menu item.
