Router does not support https protocol R9000 Nighthawk
Some time after I purchased the R9000 router the https protocol stopped being supported and I may only access the admin interface via http
Are there any suggestions to restore https access to the admin interface.
I have been updating the f/w but I haven’t received any updates in the last 2 years
thank you

That's how it works by default. Why do you want https?
If you insist, try here:
- Advanced
- Advanced setup
- Web Service Management
Be prepared for it to break things.
- HTTPS for your private LAN is useless, unless you don't trust your own network.
- Thank you for the prompt reply!
http is not encrypted so the login passwords are sent clear text. Someone already logged in the WiFi can intercept these packets
I cannot see the web services option. Have they stopped updating the OS for this router ?- Enabling HTTPS on the router does not mean it's globally available to the LAN/WiFi. It's only for the router's web interface so login credentials are encrypted.
