Can't get to my routers all of a sudden

Today I can’t get to my routers. Typically at 192.168.11.1. I get this message on different computers, different sites and different web browsers.

192.168.11.1 uses encryption to protect your information. When Microsoft Edge tried to connect to 192.168.11.1 this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. This may happen when an attacker is trying to pretend to be 192.168.11.1, or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Microsoft Edge stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.

You can’t visit 192.168.11.1 right now because the website sent scrambled credentials that Microsoft Edge can’t process. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work

Hi @steveschuh
Could you please try again and let me know if you’re able to log in to the router now?

Same thing and same message. This is my office router today. It was happening on other routers I work on with a different computer at a different location. Same error message. Windows update or something? I attached a screen shot.

Same thing with Chrome and a different computer.

Firefox browser will let you access your router

I don’t have Firefox but I suppose I could download it. That doesn’t answer what happened in the last week to cause this.

I agree that doesn’t answer what happened, but I would assume Chrome and Edge updated a security setting on their browsers. I was just trying to give you a workaround, so you can access your routers if needed.

Thanks Cheree. Appreciated.

Recent browser security enhancements may prevent access to sites with expired certificates. To override this block, click on the page’s background and type thisisunsafe; the browser will then bypass the alert and load the login page

Yes I see it is because of expired certificates. I don’t understand your directions. I can’t get to the page to click on it’s background. I was able to get in using Firefox but it took an extra layer of warnings before it warned me again and let me to the R-195 router log in page. Firefox spoke of untrusted certificates.

This does work, your instructions are not very intuitive since it is a “odd” solution. Really you just left click anywhere on the background and “blindly” type = thisisunsafe and wait a couple seconds and the page will refresh bypassing the cert error.

this is for chrome browsers

Wow. It does work. Thanks
