    I finally got this to work using Windows 11 and Edge by going to the Privacy option. I added an exception rule in the manage enhanced security for websites tab to include http://192.168.1.1. I also changed the Orbi configuration to not use https:// for web management login. This change fixed chrome to but I'm not sure why (cache maybe). Go figure.

Be sure to clear your browser caches. 

Try https:// next time

FW works wth current browsers.

Microsoft Edge and now Chrome browsers cannot connect to router via http://. I had to download Firefox browser to get this to work today. Please fix your products to use a current cert. I am running the latest firmware. This has been going on for almost 5 years now. Shame on NetGear.
