Use HTTPS to access the router
You can configure the router to always require secure HTTP (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
kb.netgear.com/000062980/what-to-do-incase-of-security-message.
To require HTTPS connections:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window displays.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified when you set
up your router. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Web Services Management.
The Web Services Management page displays.
5. Select the Always Use HTTPS to Access Router check box.
6. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
Change the router’s device name
The router’s default device name is based on its model number. This device name
displays in the file manager when you browse your network.
