★☆☆☆☆
Needlessly complicated setup - preventing use of product
In order to configure this device you need to connect to its page by DNS or IP - both of which do not work when i connect them to an already functioning network (tried 3 different homes/businesses) If i dont connect this device to the internet I can load the page if i connect via direct cable or its SSID no problem. But thats as far as you can go - the device REQUIRES A NETGEAR.COM ACCOUNT in order to do INITIAL CONFIGURATION!!!! So i cant access the device to configure it the way it needs to be in order for it to function correctly. Returning this crap - there is absolutely no way around it. I've been a network administrator for several years and i cant get by your garbage SSO landing page. Why do you require this crap when its completely unnecessary? maybe they want it in order to track your internet activity to a user account and sell the data? Wouldnt be a shocker
