Thanks for the reply, but I just can't wrap my head around the idea that using an app in the way it was intended would cause JUST my phone (none of our other devices) to not trust the netgear certificate and not be able to use wifi through our Orbi routers.

If your using Apple product and iOS 14 on your phone, then this is a Apple issue. Apple has implemented newer security features on there products which are causing problems for older and current apps and there iOS to report these as security problems.
For the web page and certificate, most web browser report this and some are also wanting to use a more secure connection to the routers web page. Honestly, this isn't a major concern for most home users as there is usually only one person managing the routers web page and features and doing only one log in. Anyone doing nefarious things would have to be on the LAN side to try anything with the routers web page. Thus the HTTPS isn't really needed when users are manageing the router from home.
Good Luck in your endeavours.
