Hi,

I'm having a problem securing my wifi network. I have a  Wifi Network - Netgear MR60 Mesh Wifi 6 Router.

 

Problem 1: I discovered when trying to reconnect my printer that my Wifi Router was blocking all encrypted connections. It does not show the lock next to the network name, but the guest wifi does? Very strange. I looked at my phone and it was also showing unsecured, but it quickly changed back to showing the lock. On my printer it continued to show it's unsecured. Last time I updated my settings I changed the network to WPA3, so it should be very secure. < WPA3 may not be supported by the printer so you may need to set WPA2 and AES on the MR so that the printer can connect. 

 

Problem 2: I am trying to login to routerlogin.net to check my wifi settings. My computer is telling me that it's an insecure connection and my password will be sent unencrypted? Is there a way to check the router settings securely? Typing https://routerlogin.net does not work. Before you tell me to try the nighthawk app, I have and it has problems finding the network. Like others on this forum, I have an iphone and it's hard to get the nighthawk app to work on my phone.

 

Can anyone please tell me how to check/change my wireless network settings securely?

Check to see if HTTPS Management is checked as enabled under Advanced Tab/Admin/Web Management if you see this item here...FYI, HTTPS isn't needed for entering the routers web page when your on the LAN side of the network.
