FVS336G How do I change the certificate presented from 192.168.1.1 (Default admin)

Hi woodd,
The FVS336Gv1 does not have a console port whereas both the FVS336Gv2 and FVS336Gv3 does have a console port. However, there is still no option to update the admin certificate nor swap out the certificate file via a console connection.
As per the CLI reference manual, it says on page 6: "You cannot generate and upload a certificate through the CLI..." You may access the CLI reference manual here.

Hi woodd,
I have checked that you have already contacted Netgear Chat Support and you have an FVS336Gv1 which is already End-Of-Life (both FVS336Gv2 and FVS336Gv3 are not yet EOL).
I don't think there is way to update the admin certificate nor swap out the certificate file via SSH.

Well then -
- let me ask the same question about the FVS336GV3 (or V2).
Can you change the certificate used for the Admin page on the FVS336GV3?
I would like to know that I will not be forced into some perpetual hardware upgrades due to the loss of being able to connect with a browser.
Better yet, if access could optionally be in the clear for LAN connections.

Hi,
I too have run into the problem that trying to connect results in this message:
"An error occurred during a connection to 192.168.2.1. SSL received a weak ephemeral Diffie-Hellman key in Server Key Exchange handshake message. (Error code: ssl_error_weak_server_ephemeral_dh_key) .
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem."
I do not know how to update the firmware if that is what it takes, nor update the certificate.
Will this be something I can fix? Or will I need to replace the Firewall? Your response to the original question seems to be that "It cannot be fixed on the Netgear FVS336G Firewall"?
Please help provide a solution as this is my router to my work and I use it all day, every day. No network, no job.
(I only have one old laptop that can still connect, Every other device I have gets the same complaint when trying to connect.)
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi scsailor,
Kindly answer the questions below:
a. Have you tried using other browsers like Firefox or Safari?
b. What is the Operating System of your old laptop?
c. What is the current firmware of your FVS336G?
d. Did you make any changes on the settings of the FVS336G?
I look forward to your response. Welcome to the community! :smileyhappy:
