Can you please elaborate a little bit more? Is this some hit-and-miss on DumaOS like on the "other" router platform? In fact it's brilliant and it would not cause people complaining about the "Not secure" or "The connection to this site is not private" warnings from the browsers.
Needless to say, form the security audit prospective an almost public shared private key - as it's in place on all Netgear routers, or at least on these of a similar firmware release generation - does not add much privacy. But it would make the browsers and most customers happy.
