Yes. And Netgear doesn't do enough to find and suppress them. (Other brands also get hit, but Netgear is one of the biggest.) It does promise to unleash the lawyers when they are reported here, which is why we ask for people to provide the details.
For fun's sake, have you ever tried this one:
http://routerlogin.com/debug.htm
It is legit, honest.
I mention it partly because I have been trying to persuade someone else here that there is no such things as http://routerlogin.com/index.htm
Nope will not click on that, am still mad at myself for being careless. Beside I haven’t use netgear in a while, just tried to log into my spare one before possible giving it away. Let’s hope netgear do something about in the near future as I am planning to get a netgear when my current router needs to be replaced.

Wise person.
That is actually the URL to access some hidden features in your router. It used to be the way to enable telnet, until Netgear firmwared it out of action.
Go to your own router at the usual address. Then change the page url from start.htm to debug.htm.
It works without an Internet connection.
That address is commonly used during beta testing of new devices. It opens up various logging options.
