Thanks, perhaps I'll look into that.

I haven't seen that option, but maybe it's there somewhere.

I'm pretty sure mine don't; my impression was that that's a feature
usually found on more expensive, 'business' type units.

Yes; :(. I have just retired an old Netgear MR814v2 (which seemed to
be failing), which completely refused to talk to you if you didn't
speak JS, and I currently use a couple of Trendware units (TEW-432BRP
and TEW-452BRP), which both use the same management interface, which is
partially but incompletely functional without JS support.
