Now click my router link and go t a forced https page. Click on "Switch to https" link and get the Warning unsafe page.


 

I have had problems for ages trying to get a secure local connection to my Synology router...  This thread peaked my interest again and I re-tried setting up a self-signed certificate and new link on my desktop... no luck - kept getting the warning and insecure website message.

Then I tried googly what's wrong with my web page https connection - it said I shouldn't try connecting to a local IP address but instead use a domain name set up in the hosts file.  So I edited my hosts file - added "192.168.1.1  MyRouter" and change my desktop link to point to https://MyRouter/  ... Low and behold it sprang into life and worked....   Not sure if it's a Chrome specific issue, but it appears to be working on my local network now with a secure encrypted connection to my router.

Not really sure it's directly related but just in case it helps anyone.

I generally don't use my Hub2 router, just kept in a cupboard for diagnostic purposes if needed.  So have not tried it on a hub2 yet.

Re: Plusnet Hub 2 Update

The new version (v0.11.01.11071-PN) was made available from 11 May 2026 as part of a small trial, with a wider rollout starting 1 June 2026.


It may take a couple of weeks to reach all hubs, whilst the rollout is conducted in a controlled, phased manner.

Re: Plusnet Hub 2 Update

Hmm. Until yesterday my router said "firmware version: v0.10.00.04201-PN  and "last update: unknown"

Today it says "firmware version:v0.10.00.04201-PN" and "last update: 13-Jun-2026".

@Stoker Try rebooting the router and - AFAIK - it should pick up the new firmware.

Re: Plusnet Hub 2 Update

As mentioned by jab1, do a reboot for the new firmware to be applied.

The forced reboots are typically completed in the early hours of the morning. However, with the World Cup games, and particularly with Scotland this morning at 02:00, they would have wanted to avoid rebooting hubs during the game.

Re: Plusnet Hub 2 Update

Yes rebooting worked - thanks! I think I can get around the HTTPS issue via NGINX and CERTBOT (which gets LetsEncrypt certificates) which I'm already running on a Raspberry Pi

"I think I can get around the HTTPS issue"

There really is no "HTTPS issue": https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Plusnet-Hub-2-new-firmware-forcing-https/m-p/2048788#M44680
