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.
