your reply (which you often do) does answer anyone's questions and is just an opinion. The response is useless in this forum. We all love or Orbi or we wouldn't buy one. Please respond with answers and not opinions on product value.

Certificate doesn't relate or impact to wifi connections. Only the login page of the RBR. WPA security mode can effect connections. If your devices are having problems with connecint to wifi, you should contact the mfr of these devices for help and infomation regarding there products. Orbi only provides the platform for devices to connect to.

my devices are connecting to wifi no problem with other router (and wpa setup). The devices are display are "untrusted" certificate error. my browser on windows pc allowed me to install the certificate. It was working for a day. My iphone did not alllow this.
I was not trying to use the orbi homepage at all.

I agree with you are saying which is why I found the error strange (because it was happening while using wifi not accessing a particular web site). I read somewhere that under certain conditions the Orbi will go to various netgear addresses one being routerlogin.net I am not sure.
For example when checking email on my iphone I get the www.routerlogin.net certificate not trusted. Certificate is valid from 1/8/21 to 1/6/31. It lists multiple dnsnames on the certificate. (like orbilogin.net, orbilogin.com, routerlogin.net etc..) but nowhere to accept it.
Sorry I did not say it before but thank you for your information.
