Model: Archer AX4400  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.2.4 Build 20240125 rel.39949(5553)

As referred to in the title, I'd like to be able to remove the banner ad from the bottom of the screen on the router firmware.

 

The banner ad takes up roughly a 6th of the screen space.

 

There are certain lists, e.g. ARP, MAC Binding, DHCP Reservation etc., that require either constant up-and-down scrolling or reducing the zoom level because of the banner ad.

  @-Kevin_N Worse, the UI performance of my AX4400 has been absolutely wrecked ever since the firmware update that introduced that banner.

 

You can use firefox and uBlock origin's element zapper to remove that banner but it will only work for the session you're in. As soon as you log out and back in, it'll come back.

I think there might be a way to make it permanent from within the browser but I've started doing it by reflex, so I haven't bothered. I'm replacing this POS as soon as I get the chance. I'm thoroughly unimpressed with the routers performance and UX.

Thank you for your reply. 

 

I see now (thanks to you) that the Edge browser also has an 'Inspect' option that can delete web elements.

 

For those playing along at home, to remove the banner, simply right-click on it and choose 'Inspect'.  From the resulting sidebar, right-click the highlighted text and choose Delete.

As forum member SwervingLemon mentions, the deletion is only temporary so there's no danger in deleting the banner element.

 

Thanks again ServingLemon.
