    You'll need to contact Netgear for assistance and see if they have a newer version of their site that doesn't require Flash Player.

     

    For completeness, Adobe announced Flash Player's end-of-life in July 2017 giving content creators, programmers, developers, IT experts, etc over 3 years remove Flash Player dependencies from their products. All modern browsers provide the capabilities necessary to do this in JavaScript.  This is an investment and prioritization choice, not a technical limitation. 

      

    For reference:

     

    Major browser vendors are deprecating Flash Player support.  Details specific to each vendor:

    • Apple Safari - removed Flash Player support in Safari 14, released Sept 16, 2020
    • Google Chrome - removed Flash Player support in Chrome 88, released Jan 19, 2021
    • Firefox - removed Flash Player support in Firefox 85, released on Jan 26, 2021.
      • Firefox ESR 78 will support Flash Player for the time being, assuming the Flash Player NPAPI plugin is already installed as it’s no longer available for download.
    • Microsoft Edge - removed Flash Player support in Edge 88, released Jan 15, 2021
    • Microsoft Internet Explorer and legacy Edge  - Has information on options for continued support for enterprise customers
