Answer 2

Don't look for problems where there aren't any. The configuration must be uploaded either through the Web interface, or we find the instructions for the router and read it. If the firmware manufacturer has provided alternative ways to upload the firmware, then he will indicate in the instructions how this can be done.

Answer 3

The router also has telnet and tftp access protocols, the latter is also suitable for data exchange, but does not have protection against interception and spoofing, and does not encrypt the connection.
