Netgear serving ads on router pages - completely unacceptable

Just loggedinto my R7000p to notice ADS on the router interface. Thats right ADS. What sort of **bleep**wittery is this ?  Security breach much ? Absolutely never buying this tripe again.

What kind of ads? I've never seen ads on my R7000 and R7800

    A banner ad and a side bar ad for orbi equipment on my R7000P

    Note: R7000P has different firmware than R7000 - I know this because that is one of my other routers, and it's unaffected.

    Luckily AdBlock Plus put an end to it.
