R7000 - Admin login constantly looking for password
This problem started several firmware updates ago. I'm using a Mac (High Sierra) and the latest version of Safari. When I log in to the router admin page I initially get a white webpage requesting my log in details. After logging in the usual NetGear admin page loads. I then periodically get a pop-up window (see attached screen shot) which looks just like the log in window I used to get previously when logging into the admin page. If I click Cancel the window closes and immediately reopens. If I repeatedly do this then it eventually goes away before repearing again at some later point. Oddly the number of cancels required to dismiss the window varies. The window usually pops up after doing something in the admin window. Very frustrating. The machine I'm usually doing this on is using a wired connection but it also happens if I use a different machine over Wifi.

After further investigation I've narrowed the problem down to a conflict with Ghostery. Whitelisting the IP of the router appears to solve the problem. That still leaves the root cause of the problem to be determined.

"Cleaner, faster, and safer", and confused? I'd certainly try disabling/removing it, to see if it's to blame. Sounds suspicious, at least.
I don't think you read my post properly or you'd realise that I've already said that the conflict is with Ghostery and that the solution is to Whitelist my router's IP address in Ghostery.
