Hi, I'm trying to sort out the iOS14 weak security issue and following the instructions re hub. But the http://192.168.0.1/ comes up as not secure! Plus I can't remember what I changed the password to either.Is there any way I can reset password and why is the website not secure?

Have you tried a factory reset? Hold in the pinhole at the rear of the router for at least 50 seconds and then release (the lights will flash while holding in the pinhole reset button after about 10-15 seconds) then allow 5 minutes for the router to reboot and re-sync the connection.

It's normal for a router (or any local device with a web interface) to come up as unsecure. There is no risk as it's on your local network and not the wider internet. 

If you have the original password (usually on a sticker under the hub) you can do a factory reset.

Thanks,I'll try that. 🙂

you can't secure an ip address that's not accessible to the internet. Your router is a local device so it can never have a valid SSL certificate.

As it never leaves your network it doesn't need to be secure

In the wireless security settings, switch it to WPA2 only, maybe Apple has a problem with WPA? If you have any problems then just switch it back, but I'm sure everything supports WPA2 these days.

“you can't secure an ip address that's not accessible to the internet. Your router is a local device so it can never have a valid SSL certificate.‘’ Rubbish. All my local machines have HTTPS access, I have a wildcard SSL certificate.

I beg to differ about your local network being secure. The instant you introduce a device where you haven't set the software up yourself it can never be fully trusted.

Did you even look at the date of the previous posts to yours before you clicked on post as this thread is almost 10 months old.
