Netgear R7000P - The routers with features you had to disable to make it work
Oh Netgear, let me count the ways your 7000P router sucks. I really wanted this to be good router but overall it's left a bad taste meaning my next router most likely won't be anything netgear. ...

I don't see that. So it isn't hard wired into the thing.
Pin down why that happens, fix it and maybe some of the other things will also go away.
Several other things on your list also don't happen here.
Which firmware version are you on?
V1.3.3.142_10.1.75

That firmware does not show any pop-up ads here.
How are you getting into the R7000P? An app or the browser graphical user interface (GUI)?
There have been reports of new versions of the Nighthawk app doing this. Again, I don't see this on the R7000P and the latest Android app.
I also don't see the need to reboot when I make changes. But that may be because I don't do much tweaking in my R7000P.
Im talking about the circle prompt everytime you open the web interface.
But.. this is all probably too late now. My new ASUS router just turned up, I can give this r7000P to someone else who will put up with how crappy this router is.
