R6230 GUI log on requiring me to create a Netgear account to proceed

I have done this dozens of times with previous models.

I go through the manual configuration, I put all the settings how I want them.

As soon as I connect the Internet port I am unable to log on.  It keeps redirecting me to setup a Netgear account.

I have updated the firmware.

Does not happen on the R6220 or WNR2000 models.

Why do I require a Netgear account to log on to my local device?
