Enabling HTTPS admin

[OrbiChris]

When logging in admin I find no menu to set up HTTPS.  It's always HTTP.  It's the Orbi LTE LBR20 I'm using firmware 2.5.3.6

Does anyone know how to set it up to use HTTPS?  Maybe I have to update the firmware?

Oh, I am using firefox.  It gives me a warning to proceed to the http address.  Or I just found out I can use advanced and force to connect using https - but it would be self signed and therefore unsecured due to some vulnerabilities.  But that's better than plain old http no encryption right? 

I'm hooked up to the Orbi using a wired connection.  I guess the wireless connection would be less secure.

I'm discovering the 192.168.1.1 is a local connection and so if using a LAN wired connection it would be redundant to use HTTPS connection, although it wouldn't hurt there's really no worries. 

However maybe using (and I'm not sure) a wireless connection if anyone was within range in your neighborhood doing nefarious things, and if someone had the tools and were observing your connections at the exact time you logged on to orbilogin.com then maybe there's a chance the information would be compromised.  In that case probably just wise to force connection using https.  Yes it's self signed (which firefox will designate as unsecure) but you know the self signed certificate is you anyways and from what I've been reading it's only if you don't know the source of the self signed certificate that's a problem.  Sorry bit long winded but I don't think I'm wrong about that.
