RBR50 admin page blocked by outdated certificate. Please release a final security patch.

My Orbi RBR50 system (router, indoor satellite and outdoor satellite, firmware 2.7.5.6) still works well, but its local admin page no longer opens in current Safari or Chrome. Both reject the router's built-in certificate with ERR_SSL_KEY_USAGE_INCOMPATIBLE, so I can't sign in to check security settings, connected devices or firmware. I know the RBR50 is End of Service, but this is a browser-compatibility bug in the router's own certificate, not a feature request. Please release one final firmware update that issues a compliant certificate (and any outstanding security fixes) so working RBR50 hardware can keep being managed safely instead of going to a landfill. Thanks.

    Try using Firefox or Opera. 

    Tell the browser to allow incompatible certificates.

    Enable TLS 1.0 in hidden browser settings. 

    Orbi AC series is EoL so not getting updates. 

    Update your FW:
