Not able to login (locally) to R9000 X10
I cannot login to the Genie interface of my R9000. I get the login prompt (username:admin, password) after which the browser (tried firefox, chrome, IE) all show "transferring data from 192.168.1.1"...
It was Bitdefender's Privacy setting. I had to add the IP address to the whitelist in Bitdefender.

...for http only. The R9000 does support https, and comes with a valid certificate for routerlogin.net et all:
Does using routerlogin.net (instead of 192.168.1.1) require a fuctional internet access?
How is the name "routerlogin.net" resolved?
Curious.

The router intercepts it, and returns its own LAN IP address.
If your client device is configured to use some real-world DNS server
instead of a Netgear router, then you might find yourself talking to a
Netgear web server with a misleading/useless error page for your
enjoyment.https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/x/m-p/1365830
Interestingly, a typical Netgear router will intercept a request for
one of those "routerlogin" names, even when it's configured as a
wireless access point, and you might expect it not to deal with DNS.
