Oh dear.  You know some variants of Windows 10 remains supported for another few years?  Saves buying new gear, and W11 is generally a useless, buggy piece of crap....   ....to the point I use a Mac day to day at home ;D

And in your particular case AA, I suspect it was Norton.  Best get rid of that junk IMHO.  I just tried going into a Homehub via its IP on a W11 PC here, no issue.

I've had this before, it seems to be a failure to accept a non https site, using a domain name that resolves to the same IP address works, from memory, using the IP directly worked after that workaround

It's not Norton, tried it on the Win 11 desktop and the ISP works fine, only fails on my laptop.

I still think its Norton.  Installs at different times will have different capabilities and settings applied.

When your subscription is due for renewal, I'd not bother and go back to Window's built in AV and Smartscreen.  Aside from a VPN - any you really don't need one - I don't think Norton offers much else?
