Trying to finish setting up and haven't made it to dashboard screen yet and it keeps me on an unsecure page wanting me to log in to a routerlogin.net site with user and password, how can I get beyond this?
Permitting the connection is using https://routerlogin.net you are on the secure side of the things. Trouble is that browsers consider a plain HTML Basic Auth - before any content data is exchanged - on a https connection insecure. This applies to modern browsers like Chrome, Edge, Firefox, ... regardless of the connection is run e.g. on TLSv1.2, and all the certificate and crypto exchange is done, and the certificate (with the "shared" private key on many products) is perfectly valid.
Netgear must re-think their design philosophy for this process - undoubted a balance between fingerprinting (gee, the certificate does unveil much more). @Netduma-Fraser@Netduma_Jack@Netduma_Luke@Netduma_Alex - as the Netgear consumer BU does ignore the community for years, its your turn to push this lack of awareness over to SJ and TPE.
Unfortunately, we (still, or again) can't use in-line images in this part of the community why ever, so I've merged two images into one atachment.
