Cannot login locally to the device – NETGEAR Nighthawk - WiFi App Review

Update: I got the following from the developer: “There are a number of benefits to connecting your router to your Netgear account including the ability to manage your network remotely, receive security updates for your specific devices, and much more! ” I beg to disagree. Allowing incoming connections from the WAN side exposes the router to hacking. Netgear accounts and passwords could get exposed, man-in-middle attacks etc. Even if you allow remote logins, don’t remove the local login option!! ===== I cannot login to the device locally (using username “admin”) anymore. I never use a Netgear account (using an email address). Bring back local logins!!!
