router login info displayed on my echo
Just installed the XR500, used the same loign data as my Last router from Asus so all devices could connect easily. After getting it up and running my Echo Show has the NETGEAR Login data displayed on it, both the admin login, and the Wifi Login. What the heck?! How did the data from the Router get passed to the Echo Show?

- I'm not familiar with the Echo Show interface, where is it showing this information? Could you provide a picture with it blurred?
The Echo Show is a Wifi device. It attaches to the home router via wirelessly. It is like a google voice, or echo Dot, but with display. it shows things like weater, preview shows, pictures, recipes etc..
It has no priority access, or admin priveledges ..
So this screeen popped up with my admin information and wifi access-- This should NOT happen or be allowed by the router, I have no idea how the Show had any access to information other than wifi access.
thx, Dennis
Ah - that's the initial setup tour, which it looks like you may have not completed on first setup. If you click to continue from that screen does it then appear afterwards? You should just be on the DumaOS interface from that point forward.
You'll probably need to be on your PC/laptop to continue from that screen, so get back onto the router interface on your computer, continue from that screen until DumaOS loads, and you'll then be ok.
