XR1000 - Security issues/how to?
Hi all. Does anyone know how to 1) Fully disable WPS. 2) Configure the admin page for HTTPS, PKI cert or self-signed if we must. 3) Disable port 80 on the admin page 4) Change the admin page fro...
Thanks for the reply.
Please forgive me, is this not Netgear?
I admit, I am perplexed that a security device OS can't use HTTPS because it doesn't work well. This is simply insane in these days.
Can you please tell me what other functions are unencrypted?
Also, is there really no way to disable WPS? Surely this is something we should be able to do.
This is a community forum for Netgear but you are unlikely to receive an actual response from Netgear as they have separate support channels that they take care of. However, myself and my colleague Liam work for Netduma who created DumaOS and do respond to every post. That being said, the entire settings part of the router is Netgear software and not something we have created.
The router is a local device, only accessible by your local network and there aren't any sensitive details that would be at risk, I do understand HTTPS would be preferable, just due to the way of software works it is hindered by HTTPS. I'm not one of the developers so I don't have a more technical answer for you on that one. I don't think you can disable WPS unfortunately, someone has asked this before and the only thing to do is set the pin.
