After updating to V2.5.0.108 I can no longer connect to admin web URL https://192.168.1.1/index.htm.  It says 500 - Internal Server Error.

The documented entry URL does _not_ have any path - if this is the router in the data path from the computer or mobile with the browser use only https://routerlogin.com/ or https://routerlogin.net/ - or for the sake of it https://[LAN-IP]/ resp. https://192.168.1.1/ (permitting that's the correct LAN IP). If htis does again not work and throws a 500 message, something broke in the firmware and/or config on your Orbi Pro device

Is the certificate bad on the server?

No, you would see very different messages.

Lot of panic for something that happens typically on your own home LAN/WLAN anyway. I've pointed out the fact that the certificate and private key are - for a certain generation with the same cert generation - the very same, what can cause some security impact. However, there is no f***g way to have a proper https Web browser connection in the way that it works on any network without some tricks - especially since the router makers started to push up messages danger, this is the end of the world type messages in pop-ups, in red, ....And that's for now the only trick that works. Of course, Netgear could offer a perfectly signed certificate based on a locally generated private key - but what should they do if the device is offline? The researchers (and the old man here) were perfectly right - but there is no other reasonable solution to make this work properly for all use cases.
