I also want to know what that means.  We can still use a desktop browser to access the router, correct?

   Look for "Remote Access" and/or "Remote Management" in the User
Manual?


   I know nothing, but I'd guess that the change is related to this:

 

      New Features and Enhancements:

        o Supports secure HTTP protocol for the router web interface.

 

 

   A casual observer might wonder why "Remote Management" (which always
used HTTPS) would need to be disabled when local access can now use
HTTPS.  Incompetence would explain it, of course.

   Apparently.  This is Netgear consumer-grade router firmware.  I'd
believe it when I saw it.
