Netgear Orbi RBK50 - Web certificate expired yesterday (Aug 2, 2019)
I logged into my Orbi RBK50 today - long story short - the security certificate expired yesterday. I have the latest firmware posted (just udpated some days ago) v2.3.5.30. Can someone from Netge...
Microsoft edge has the same issue.
How is it you are seeing the error? When you login to your Orbi router via web interface?

Yes when logging into Orbi by web browser (both Chrome or Microsoft edge)

I just tried mine.....laptop...wifi to Orbi router via Chrome....no error
On the LAN side of the Orbi, web pages are HTTP, which is not secured and thus has no certificate.
When the Orbi's Remote Management is activated, the connection is HTTPS to the public IP and the default port is 8443, as in "https//<Orbi Public IP>:8443" (the port can be changed, but I didn't)
My Orbi has Remote Management activated. I used Chrome and got this:
If a person attempts to HTTP to the Orbi public IP, it simply fails. It appears pretty clear that (a) this is not viewed as a "major issue" by Netgear, and (b) they seem to have no easy method of putting a new certificate on the Orbi short of updating the firmware. One of the things people are waiting for is when (if?) new firmware appears, will the certificate be valid?
