srr60 pro-- router connects, gives NOT PRIVATEmessage
Bought this router used, trying to setup. It shows connected but all I get is "Connection is not private". Will not go on internet. Is there something I should look for? I can't get on orbilogin ...
Mr. CrimpOn, Thank you so much for sticking with me and solving my Orbi problem. The last response you sent was most helpful. I typed 198.168.1.1 and then the link to orbilogin and it worked. I followed the page 27 instructions for safari all seems well now. thank you so much, I think I'm going to like this Orbi, speed on wifi is 250 mbps. Thank you, thank you. Respectfully, swiftgc1b
Netgear lost the SSL certificate for a bunch of domain names in the summer of (2020 was it?). URLs such as router.com, router.net, orbirouter.com, orbirouter.net. (No one outside Netgear knows how or why this happened.) The products now have self-signed SSL certificates and modern web browsers complain about them. Every browser that I have includes a mechanism (Advanced, More Info, something along that line) which give the option to "go to the site anyway." After the first time, my browsers remember and quit complaining.

Nothing lost. The certificate policy was broken by including a copy of the formal private key as part of the firmware distribution.

I seem to remember at the time that there was a formal expiration date in August and everybody appeared surprised that it was not renewed.
Thanks for remembering the details. (Not that it helps with browsers complaining about the private cert.)
