Firefox problems with Archer C9 V.5
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
There are a few issues with this router concerning access (no problems on my older V1 version)
1. Cannot Access with the latest version of Firefox 64bit on Windows 10
The screen just hangs and causes major issues with Firefox in that all the tabs I have stop working and I need to restar Firefox.
2. Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 pretty much always fails password 1st time while second time works.
Edge hates the self signed certificate that TP-Link uses
3. Firefox and Microsoft Edge give SSL Cirtificate warnings.
Does anyone have a fix for any of these issues?
Thanks

The self cert errors will happen, but since the site accessing is a local site that is fine. If you were accessing a banking institution and got cert errors, that is a big problem.
How does Chrome react?

@Watchowner Now (December 2019), Chrome no longer provides the option to "accept the risk" and proceed to a site with a self-signed certificate. Neither does Safari, but the current version Firefox, 71.0, does. I do not understand why I cannot have a CA signed certificate. I believe Firefox will soon refuse self-signed certs. Further, how is my router communicating with tplinkwifi? Is that traffic encrypted? What prevents a Black Hat from taking over my router? Has it happened already?

The tplinkwifi.net is meant to take you directly to your router assuming you are on the routers local network. If you are not you will see a webpage with helpful information on connecting to your TP-Link router locally.
Using tplinkwifi.net is similar to trying to use 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 while connected to the TP-Link local network.

@Watchowner No, https://tplinkwifi.net/webpages/login.html doesn't work either. I get the same error -

TP-Link need to use a certificate that has been signed by a recognized Internet certificate authority.
