   When I did that the strange thing is I was able to get, momentarily, a log   
   in into the router but then it reverted instantly back to wanting https!

   I wasn't on the Internet as I had to disable the Wi-Fi to use Ethernet   
   and as soon as I hit the green submit button, it went immediately to this.

   But let me try your suggestion with another Windows 10 machine and another   
   Firefox as I was previously testing it on a borrowed fat laptop because my   
   thin laptop doesn't have any Ethernet ports (it only has the USB ports).   
      
   The borrowed fat laptop had Wi-Fi so I had to turn that off too, but the   
   desktop I'm going to try it on only has Ethernet so maybe that will help?   
      
   (I have a thin laptop so in the future, is there a way to convert the USB-A   
   or USB-C or the HDMI on the thin Windows 10 laptops to Ethernet instead?)
