Modems/Routers : Add HTTPS when connecting to the NETGEAR Genie page
Hi NETGEAR, I have recently configured a few different NETGEAR ADSL Modems/Routers, to be specific the D6400 and DGND3700v2, but both of these don't appear to support a HTTPS connection to the NE...
I just purchased the Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 R7000 and couldn't figure out why I couldn't connect to the router over https. It only supports http for local administration (with no way to disable), and can not limit to "wired" connections. In addition, it proudly displays my credentials in plain text on the http rendered interface (wireless setup page). Thank goodness for return policies.
The router came with firmware 1.0.9.88_10.2.88. The setup wizard was a good experience, telling me there was no firmware update available, which was a lie (the router automatically updates by default). I was able to update to 1.0.11.100_10.2.100 hoping it would have some additoinal features. No luck.
Considering this thread was opened 4 years ago, I guess that tells us about their stance on security.
