   	Whatever it uses, I've always logged in by using https and   
   telling it to update using a firmware file I've previously   
   downloaded(and checked the SHA256).   
   	Exactly as Char Jackson described.   
   	Any browser I've tried (Firefox, Palemoon, even the old M$   
   bug-ridden offer) works.   
   	Been doing this for well over a decade.   
   	I don't trust the router to "update itself". It might have   
   been hacked and download something nasty.
