Can't access Router homepage?

cjwinternet — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 12:54:07 GMT

ten minutes ago I accessed my routers homepage to reboot it.

Now I can't access it, it says "Access to the hub manager now requires a secure HTTPS connection - Switch to HTTPS (button)

Click the button, nothing happens.

Yes you can access it. Just continue as browser describes: Hub Warning (plus.net)

Are you a little bit simple? First, that's not even the same message. Second, which part of "Click the button, nothing happens" did you not understand

@cjwinternet

can you access the router if you use https://192.168.1.254/ directly ( and accept the certificate security warning )

It's got nothing to do with the security warning. It's literally the image that I attached again below.

Edit, I fixed it

I understand that, I was suspecting that the browser wasnt handling the router generated force switch url and so suggested entering the https: url directly to eliminate the force switch link as the problem

Err...

Which is exactly the matter addressed! 🤣

Good! What was the fix? It might be useful to know.

"Which is exactly the matter addressed! "

No, you tried to address what would happen in the NEXT screen, when you change protocol. It's only then that you would ever get the certificate security warning.

And no, I won't tell you what I did to fix it.

Oh. That's helpful, then... 🙄

I have this problem too - only since some time this afternoon. Plusnet fibre installed yesterday, spent all afternoon configuring devices, ip addresses etc. Went to do some more today, now I get blocked entirely by Edge on Windows (ERR_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED). On Android I get the "switch to https" screen, but the button is not a button. You click on it, and a cursor appears as if you clicked in some plain text. Rather irritating. So if you could share your fix, that would be great.

I powered the router down and back up. Then I was able to access it for a little while. Then it hung updating a device icon, and since then it says "took too long to respond" in the browser. Guess the web server is somewhat flaky. When I have some down time I'll reboot it - again...
