I followed the procedure but the default port number for all websites was 443. That doesn't seem right. Plus, is this method bypassing security protocol and just allowing all websites through, regardless of their certificates, expired or not?

Click on Advanced Tab

Click on Service Type DropDown and Select HTTPS

Your all set. Close out admin and then retry ORBI admin console as just orbilogin.net and waalaa.Add Https as unblocked service
That's strange how my Orbi RBR20 router did not produce the following error when trying to login by entering 192.168.1.1 into the browser and logged me in just fine for the longest time and then out of the blue I am no longer able to do this without changing a setting on my router to allow all https sites through. This seems very odd and incorrect. I sure hope this information is coming from an experienced networking and security professional at Netgear. You can't blame me for questioning it. While I'm inside the setting to block or allow services shouldn't I also add "DNS?" for all websites? Where can I find clear instructions that explain the use of these different settings?
