How secure is Orbi?
Why is www.orbilogin.com not https? It doesn't feel secure to not use https login in my Orbi.

for it to be ssl in network you need to be self signed .. self signed certificates will still get the same unsecure error -- only 3rd party certificates are trusted (internet is reqired) --- as long as remote connect is off you shouldn't have to worry
orbilogin.com call is captured by your obi - its kind of a browser hi-jack
some routers do ssl
unifi and synology do -- not sure all models
**other mesh systems like google control the log-in on there servers there ssl there by default and you have no control over it (last time i checked)

Self signed certificates can be trusted (for subsequent connections anyway) too. This would provide server side authentication which would prevent other devices on your network from intercepting that magic URL.
