Orbi cert error all websites
Hi there! I have an Orbi system (router + 2 sats) that has been working well for years. Router FW is V2.7.3.22, and nothing shows as available to upgrade. Internet connection shows that it is wo...
Thank you so much for that comprehensive response. I had seen some snippits of it in google searches about this problem but never in one concise note like that.
When I get that error, I can click advanced and then proceed. However, that shows a curious thing -- I get the URL in question (say, google.com) and a login prompt.
Now I wish that I had the authority to be an admin for google.com but I don't. So I put in my orbi username/pwd on a lark and it took me to the orbi page rather than the url that it showed it was trying to resolve.
For some reason, some series of reboots / time / it knowing that it was about to be thrown away has caused this to not be an issue currently, but I am worried about it returning and I don't have any idea what I did / didn't do to fix it.
Thanks so much for the suggestion, though.
Was there anything interesting on the Orbi page?
(just personally....) I find this situation very confusing for the user. The web browser appears to be confused and now is trying to load two web pages: (1) the original target URL, and (2) some page on the Orbi administrative web site. Orbi requires a login for access, so the browser pops that up. What a mess!
We appear to be no closer to an explanation for how this situation came to exist. It clearly seems to affect only WiFi client devices.
The absolutely, "please don't make me do it", last resort is to do a factory reset on the router. I hate doing this.
Yep, that's exactly what I am seeing. I factory reset everything (man that's a pain) and it seems to have gone away, but this is now the second time it has occurred (and according to what I am reading, it's not isolated to me).
Honestly has me thinking about other options. Not sure what, but now I'm looking....
Thank you for the feedback / information.
I'm facing a similar problem now: I have an RBR-50 with a single satellite, and all wireless traffic that goes through the satellite will exhibit this problem (expired certificate for routerlogin.net whenever I try to connect to any site using https). When I turn the satellite off and just use the main router everything is working fine, except for the decreased coverage of course.
Both the router and satellite are running the latest firmware.
I'm using ethernet backhaul between the router and satellite.
Everything was working fine since I installed the system last year, but this problem started occurring about a month ago.
I've tried resetting the satellite to factory settings, but that didn't improve things.
According to Netgear, my support contract has expired, so they won't help me.
What's the best alternative to Netgear if i need a cost efficient and reliable mesh network with 2-3 access points?
Your Orbi is in a strange state if you're seeing this error when visiting all HTTPS websites (i.e., not just routerlogin.com). First try to restart your entire Orbi system per: https://www.reddit.com/r/orbi/comments/n0r8fl/how_to_properly_resolve_routerloginnet_not/. If that doesn't work the next resort is to factory reset your Orbi.
