"do not allow" or "complain about"?
It's common to get complaints from a modern web browser when you use
the router's/extender's management web site, because the browser is
worried about your sending some user credentials over an
unencrypted/insecure link ("http://" instead of "https://"). The easy
thing to do is ignore the warning, and proceed. Presumably, you're
talking to your own gizmo on your own LAN. If someone can overlisten to
that local traffic, then you're already in big trouble.
Worst case: Use a more cooperative web browser.

Have you any reason (evidence, plausible grounds for speculation,
anything at all) to believe that "routerlogin.net" and
"www.routerlogin.net" would be resolved differently?> [...] or 192.168.1.1
Or that specifying an address instead of a name would affect an
"HTTP" v. "HTTPS" difficulty?
