    Here is a list of Hidden Pages in Netgear Routers, some of which I gathered from scouring the filesystem through telnet, note that some maybe be Broadcom/Qualcomm specific so not all pages will show up for everyone:

    usage example 192.168.1.1(or just use routerlogin.net)/hidden_info.htm

    hidden_POT.htm
    hidden_channel_wifi_coexist.htm
    hidden_channel_wifi_test.htm
    debug.htm (Practically all models)
    hidden_info.htm (QUALCOMM chipset based routers/modems only?: ie RAX120 / R7800 / D7800 etc & earlier models?)
    hidden_manual_set_ant.html
    WiFi_HiddenPage.htm (BROADCOM chipset based routers/modems only: ie RAX200 / RAX80 / R8500 / R8000 / R7000 / D8500 / D7000 etc & earlier models?)
    hidden_11ad_setting.htm (R9000)
    hidden_cpu.htm
    Thermal_FAN.htm
    QOS_prru_main.htm


    SuperWiFi? Not sure what it is, maybe just increased TX power?... image below, requires use of "inspect" in Chrome to unhide and show in transmit power options.

    Possible explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Wi-Fi

    If anyone finds anymore please mention them. I'll add images/descriptions when I get time.

    Since this is a general wireless thread if other brands hidden/secret pages are found please post them and we can change the title.
