accessing asus rt-ac56u router?

[Jamburger]

Thanks to Herc08 in a previous posting, help me in purchasing a new router. I have hooked up the router started the setup. I have setup passwords and got connection. Router seems to be working great. All WIFI items are getting connections and loading properly. But when I try to log back in to the router (192.168.1.1) I get a window from Windows security Iexplore wanting to know username and password? Server reports it is from rt-ac56u. Then it has spot for username and password. It warns this may not be a secure connection. It will not let me through, if I cancel it gives me pink screen with 401 unauthorized on it. What am I doing wrong here?

put in the user name and password, the one you would have setup when you setup the router the first time.

admin and admin should be the default passwords if you didn't change them,.

ignore the warning and carry on . its basically saying the router is self certifying the Https certificate and they are not a known certification company... i think to do that you have to click advanced then proceed anyway or something similar.. its fine because you are not on the internet . It thinks it found a fake site.. which in a way it has .

you can always install chrome or add http://192.168.1.1 to the trusted list in your internet security settings..

Getochkn I try keying in my user and PW, I do it twice then I get pink screen with 401 unauthorized. Paul I added 192.168.1.1 to trusted sites, but still get same pink screen.

Where you added the trusted site lower the security for trusted sites on the slider thingy
