Armor reports online "threat" when accessing router setup
Hello all, For some time now Armor consistently reports threats whenever accessing the router setup page, which I would hope has no threats associated. Anyone else have a similar issue? Thank...

Been a long known issue with self signed certs with NG products. You can skip this warning. Browsers may overly detect these as critical or not meet browser standards as browsers are updated more frequently then routers are.

Ok, Firefox let me in but also claims it's a not secure site and the reason is an unsigned certificate. Edge worked just fine. I hate Edge. Sigh.
I did sign again in Chrome and this time Armor didn't catch anything, but again, both Chrome & Firefox claim the site to be Not Secure. Perhaps this is some type of certificate error which I presume would mean Netgear should be aware of this, no?

Thanks much, good to know if not still a bit disconcerting. I have been ignoring them considering it's just going to my router rather than the 'net at large, but still.
Appreciate you.

Ya, I see same thing. Have never seen or had problems with those. I'm the only one accessing NG stuff at my home so I don't have to worry about others.
Wondering if Chrome maybe triggering something at log in time that Armor is detecting. I personally don't use Chrome. MS Edge or Opera here.
Enjoy.
