Orbi RBR50
Basic question - why is there no secure login when I access my Orbi router? When I try to use HTTPS, it defaults to "non-secure." I don't want to change PW, etc. via a non-secure connection. What am...

In the Orbi AX routers there is an option under >> Advanced >> Advanced Settings that's called HTTPS where you can activate https.
I gues this was also introdcued in the original Orbi as well? I don't currently have access to my RBR50 router, can you please check. 🙂
Yes. It is on the Advanced Tab, Advanced Settings.
Web browsers will complain about the SSL certificate being self-signed. If you click the option to "go there anyway", the browser will remember and not complain again.

Before everyone rushed to turn on this option check that it will not break other stuff. Anywhere Access, for example, can die. Only this week we dug one poor soul out of that hellhole.
Go back to basics. Why do people insist on https? Because they are told that this is essential out in the wild world of the Internet. But when you access your router on our network, you aren't in that dangerous territory.
So, if you do turn that on and something else stops working, be prepared to reverse what you did.
