SSL or TLS on a CM1000?

Question

Howdy, team.&nbsp;I can't log into my CM1000 using https, nor can I find mention of it supporting either SSL or TLS.&nbsp;Am I whistling past the graveyard, and it does indeed not support it?&nbsp;If not&nbsp;- Might anyone have any idea if it ever might?&nbsp;- Is this a Netgear product or a DOCSIS standard shortfall?&nbsp;If it does indeed support it, what am I doing wrong?&nbsp;Thanks for steering me straight.

HTTPS isn't supported nor has ever been. Not sure if NG or other Modem Mfrs will ever use HTTPS for a LAN side web page access.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Just use HTTP.

My modems don't accept HTTPS either.&nbsp;

Gotcha, but wondering why? Everything else I have from Netgear does.&nbsp;And wondering if I'm just suffering from a shortage of talent (quite common in my case), and missing how to get in via https...

Nobody knows. In most cases HTTPS isn't really needed. Its a LAN side access point. Unless you have someone doing nefarious things on the LAN side, kind of useless to have something that gets only used when accessing the UI from the LAN side.&nbsp;
