Try not going beyond of SHA 256 and RSA 2048 to start with on the switches.

For the AP WAX630E is it even possible to do https? I don't see any option for it, i just see an FQDN setting which btw doesn't even accept my LAN custom domain.
Just with the default self-sighed certificates I fear. Netgear has apparently not implemented anything useful on the WAX6xx, neither the ability to neither create CSRs nor the ability to generate self-signed certificates nor the ability to import PKI signed certificates. Sigh 8-(
Then again, for the (in my opinion strange, like for a Web host) FQDN input field [the AP must be accessed using exactly this domain as configured, Netgear appears to see this as kind of an additional security [by obscurity] feature! But then, this appears to be limited somehow, we can't just "randomly" define FQDNs, and without random selected domains. Admit, I have not seen exact rules or documentation what is accepted there. Will try to challenge Netgear again on these subjects 8-)
