[PROBLEM]
On a freshly bought, "Netgear Nighthawk X4S AC2600 R7800", I was surprised to get the following message in a Firefox 81.0 on Xubuntu 18.04:
I also find it interesting that the above quote cannot be found as search string on the Internet (duckduckgo and Google)
[SOLUTION]
Javascript was disabled.
When using the NoScript extension in Firefox, simply allow scripts for "192.168.1.1" (=default LAN IP of the router).
The configuration page seems to work in Chromium (v85.0.4183.83 Official Build), too btw.
