Please add this feature asap...
Done!
It works already. The ugly thing, however, is that Netgear has totally messed up the SSL Certificate on the Orbi line, so modern browsers like Chrome will complain, "The Cert is bad. Don't go there! Oh, no. The sky is falling."
Try it for yourself: https://orbilogin.net. Just ignore the warnings and proceed to the Orbi Home Page. Works great!
Any problems from using HTTP on the LAN side would only be seen on the LAN side. When remoting in from the WAN side, HTTPS is used. LAN side connection to the routers weg page would not be seen of the WAN side. Thus again, not a major or critical issue to use HTTP for router web page use.

Strange question.
Anyone who needs remote access.

I set up an Orbi 3,000 miles away and need a way to administer it without taking an expensive flight. We have had numerous questions on the forum from people who have rental property and offer WiFi. I agree that the vast majority of WiFi owners never look at their WiFi once it is set up, and the vast majority of those who do are on the "inside" of the WiFi.

OK....put me down has never had the 'need' to do this. For those that do, then the need for security can be an issue.
