The announcement is NOT user friendly for people who are not tech experts.
It makes NO sense to us. Thus, it raises questions about whether it is a scam.
What the heck is a web GUI password?
Netgear should NOT use techy terms and abbreviations when informing customers about problems.
I have no idea what this is. I don't understand the announcement. I have no idea about the consequences. That's how bad the message sent to customers is. Thus, most people like me will likely ignore it.
