Context: I deal with a lot of IoT, and home automation devices, and I need to access my router's client list, DHCP settings, etc regularly. I have a browser tab with router settings pinned and opened permanently.

Problems:

1. Router keeps logging me out after each short break. Is there a way, any way to disable auto-log out? Logging in tens of times a day is rather inconvenient…

2. Every time the break was long enough to get me logged out, apart from having to log in, I'm also being redirected to tplinkwifi.net. I have multiple routers and other network devices on my network, and I much, much prefer to deal with their exact IPs, instead of having it abstracted away as a domain that points to not-clear-what exactly. How can I disable this, admittedly infuriating behaviour?

Notes:

• I saw this thread before, but it didn't seem to lead anywhere.
• The same behavior occurred on all previous firmware versions as well
• On the router I am logged in to my tp-link account, as I like the ability to access router remotely (despite my ISPs NATs), and I use parental controls.
