RAX35 losing its mind

A little over a week ago I noticed the strange behavior when turning on remote secure access, https. Momentarily other items would flash on the web page and disappear before being able to do anything. I wanted to hit this group up to ask what that was about, i.e. is something corrupted in the file on board?
Can you explain what you mean by that?
Where do you set "remote secure access, https"?
Is this on the Web Services Management page?
Here at least it is Local Management that has the option Always Use HTTPS to Access Router.
That is not related to Remote Management which is in the next section.
I find that when it set Always Use HTTPS to Access Router it breaks Remote Management.
I saw some of the symptoms that you describe.
Unfortunately, Netgear added this feature to firmware after most routers first came out. The documentation of this is even worse than usual.
One manual that does mention this has the following warning:
What do I do if I my browser displays a security message? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
As to the rest of your message, I'm lost.What does the power supply have to do with what you see? I suspect that you are tying together things that have nothing to do with each other.
I find it best to deal with one issue at a time.
