ORBI RBR50
I have the OrbiRBR50 base unit, and also another Orbi extender downstairs. The Base Unit was plugged into a Spectrum modem/router combo unit and it worked well for a long time. Spectrum just came and...
Is there a setting i need to change on the orbi so i can access all websites? Ex. When i select my ORBI wifi connection, and i try to connect to certain websites, it will say "not secure" or error 404 or your password will be sent unencrypted. EX: If i manually type in caala.org into the address bar, i get "Log in to caala.org: 80; Your password will be sent uncrypted (I am attaching a screen shot). If i manually type in the address bar https://caala.org, it will take me to the site. Now, if i select the wifi "myspectrumwifi2-g", i can type in the address bar: caala.org and it will take me to the site.
So, it looks like for some sites when i use the orbi wifi, the https is not automaticlly being added when using the orbi.
It might be useful to know a couple of things:
- Which web browser is being used?
- Does this Orbi have Netgear's "Armor" activated on it?
Thanks
safari, google chrome - it does this on all of them.
I don't know how to check if "Armor" is on the Orbi. I haven't changed any settings unless it updated itself.
If you use the Orbi "app", you can scroll down to the "Security" section. I do NOT recommending activating Armor. Was simply asking if it was there.
On the web interface, hmmm. I can't seem to find it, probably because when I upgraded I said, "NO".
when i am on my iphone with orbi wifi network selected, and i try to access the orbi app, i tried to reset my password. When i click "reset my password", i get a message "404 - Not Found". i can go no further.
When i switch to a differnt wifi network, it won't let me do anything b/c it says i need to use the orbi network!!!
