How do I stay logged in?
Every time I open the browser on my desktop I have to log in to the router. Is there a setting to keep it logged in?
IrvSp.... I cleared the cache and restarted the computer. That worked!! Thank you so much!
And thank you to everyone else for hanging in there with me and trying to help! I really appreciate it!
For some that were wondering: I wasn't directed to go to the Netgear Account sign in page. I found that to be the only page I could get to. And then I could go anywhere from there after signing in again.
Thanks again everyone!

My homepage will load. Then I have to go to a Netgear Account page to sign in. It's actually the page that I had to register my router on. It says 'Log in to your account'. I log in, then I can go wherever I want (surf the web).
The page I have to go to is netgear.com/success/r6700v3aspx?sn=58Y58B76A39E3
Very odd?
Let me see if I get this right? These are the steps:
- Your computer is on as is your router and your PC is connected to the router.
- You open Edge.
- Your home page on Edge, my.yahoo.com, loads.
- You HAVE to go to a Netgear page and login.
- Only then can you use the Internet to browse sites.
Simple set of questions now:
- On step #3 above, what is IN the URL of Edge?
- If on step #3 you enter in the URL of Edge www.cnn.com, what happens (clearing whatever might be in the URL)?
- On Edge, did you ever clear the Browsing Data (see screenshot on left, select the 3 dots on right, then Settings, then 'gear' and clear all data) and try again.
Funny, "netgear.com/success/r6700v3aspx?sn=58Y58B76A39E3" doesn't work for me, says page not found? Suspect it is cached on your PC, hence the last question.
You still have Internet Explorer installed in W10. Using the WINDOWS KEY+R, enter 'iexplore' into the command prompt and that will bring up IE. Does the Internet work and can you browse with that without having to go to Netgear and login?

Excellent news. SOLVED.
Trying a different browser, another idea from IrvSp, should have had the same effect.
