Netgear removed FW 2.5.0.40 + Current 2.3.5.38 "no new fw avail" = Don't upgrade
Just noticed that the Netgear Downloads site no longer shows 2.5.0.40. And on my running RBR and RBS 2.3.5.38, they are no longer indicating that an FW upgrade is available. Could it be that someone a...
I updated my firmware from V2.3.5.30 to V2.3.5.34 an hour ago. So far the device naming looks correct as it did with the .30 release. However, there are two issues I see with the .34 hot fix update.
1. The firmware update screen showed that it should take about 3 minutes to update the firmware. This screen did not update, I finally had to open a new window to my router to see that the update completed.
2. Web browsers still do not trust the updated https certificate for the .34 release. The expiration date of the certificate is now for November 2029, but Edge, Internet Explorer and Chrome browsers still do not trust the certificate.
Thanks for sharing this (unexpected) news. Would it be convenient to post the actual certificate information?
Of my many browsers, Firefox seems to do the best job of actually showing the certificate information.
Here is how Firefox displays the certificate that expired in August:
Here is the certifcate error shown on Firefox 70.0.1 for the V2.3.5.34 firmware:
orbilogin.net uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.

It just keeps getting worse & worse. They can't even register a security certificate correctly.

Error code: MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERTDid you clear out all browser caches in FF, exit the browser then restart it?
Does this happen with any other browsers?
I'm not seeing this with v40 loaded.

Error code: MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT- Browser cache clearing does not fix the self signed certificate error. Same error with IE, Edge, Chrome and Firefox browsers.
