orbi set up-

Hi

I have just connected an ORBI RBK23 to cope with the increased demand our household. The problem I have is that it when I try and connect I get "your connection is not private"- attackers might be trying to steal your information.

 

What dhould I do?

Thanks

Cathy

Re: orbi set up-

This has nothing to do with the Orbi.  Modern browsers are trying to discourage the use of "insecure" web sites, i.e. those that start with http, instead of httpS.  There is usually a very tiny, almost impossible to find, link on this WARNING. GO BACK.  DANGER..THERE BE MONSTERS!!!!! page that says, "I want to go there anyway, so be quiet."

 

It's especially galling since the Orbi web interface (like almost every router web interface for the past 20 years) is "http".

Re: orbi set up-

On my browsers, once I have told them to "go to the site anyway", they quit bugging me about that site.

Or, you could try using a different browser.  (Which do you have?)

 

If it is not "too personal", you could share a couple of sites that cause this error and we can check them on our Orbi systems to see if the same things happens.

I forgot to ask if you activated "Armor".  I have never activated it, so I have no personal experience.  (And I never even think about it.)  I could imagine Armor being "overly protective" in terms of "non-secure" web sites.

Which browser?

 

If you have access to one, try an alternative browser.
