    I log in... password recovery. If I log out and log in again 10 minutes later.... password recovery!

     

    There has to be e batter/easier why to access the router.


    I just  bought a Netgear and found this to be annoying also. I found a solution: 

    1. after logging in go to the Advance tab

    2, select Administration on the left

    3. select Set password

    4. uncheck Password Recovery

    5. problem solved

    6. you'll get a warning about needing to restore to factory default if you can't remember your p/w.
