When you try to access the device user interface (UI) of your access point (AP), switch, or router, your browser may display a security message, usually only during the initial product setup.
In the address field of your browser, when you enter the IP address that is assigned to your device, or you enter www.routerlogin.net or www.aplogin.net for a device that supports this type of URL name (that is, a fully qualified domain name, or FQDN), a security warning might display because of the self-signed certificate on the device. This is expected behavior. You can proceed, or add an exception for the security warning.
To proceed with a security warning or add an exception for a security warning, do the folllowing:
- Google Chrome: Click the ADVANCED link. Then, click the Proceed to x.x.x.x (unsafe) link, in which x.x.x.x represents the domain name or IP address of the device.
- Apple Safari: Click the Show Details button. Then, click the visit this website link. If a warning pop-up window displays, click the Visit Website button. If another pop-up window displays to let you confirm changes to your certificate trust settings, enter your Mac user name and password and click the Update Setting button.
- Mozilla Firefox: Click the ADVANCED button. Then, click the Add Exception button. In the pop-up window that displays, click the Confirm Security Exception button.
- Microsoft Edge: Select Details > Go on to the webpage.
- Microsoft Internet Explorer: Click the Continue to this website (not recommended) link.
