Re: ERROR: NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

I have the Orbi RBR50 and am experiencing the same, when I switch to my T-Mobile Home (redundant/backup) WiFi network, I can connect again immediately, switch back to Orbi and I can't get to the websites again. Doesn't matter what browser I use (have 4-5 installed), same results. Reboot everything and it goes back to normal. One thing to note is that some other devices like my Rokus seem to remain connected when this happens, so I don't know if it is my computer or something else.

  • I am testing, simply "forgetting" the WiFi connection and reconnecting to the SSID, to see if it helps. As soon as I did so, I was able to reach websites, I'll have to give it a few days to see if the problem recurs.

    It is probably clear to you what "experiencing the same" means.  It would be helpful if you could be specific about which websites return this invalid certificate error.
