Always use HTTPS to access the router

You can configure the router to require HTTPS connections between your web browser
and the router web interface, for example, "https://www.routerlogin.net". When you
enable the HTTPS requirement, connection requests to the router web interface that
specify HTTP are automatically converted to HTTPS.
Note: After you enable the HTTPS requirement, when you enter
http://www.routerlogin.net, your browser might display a security warning because
of the self-signed certificate on the router. This is expected behavior. You can proceed,
or add an exception for the security warning. For more information, visit

router network.
