Routerlogin.net digital certificate expired
Just discovered that the digital certificate for routerlogin.net has expired; it expired on August 2, 2019, and apparently no one at Netgear noticed it or fixed it yet that is why browsers like Chro...
Any update on this issue? Is there a workaround we can do that doesnt depend on netgear?
I wish I could say I have a new router, but I couldn't return mine, so I am stuck with the Nighthawk--still unable to login with admin and password [mine] on my desktop computer. I have tried every way possible. I ended up downloading the netgear app [as per nighthawk suggestion on paperwork] and I can see some information, but it NOTHING like being able to login to router and see it all. The informatin on the app is not even comparable to what I used to be able to monitor from my desktop. As far as I can tell that certificate still has not been renewed or Netgear has taken steps to make sure we only use the phone app and receive less information. I can't imagine what else it could be that some of us cannot login from a computer to see ALL router information. Maybe someone else in this forum has some newer information.
- FCC confirms digital certificate NOT replaced, no longer recommend using ANY Netgear routers or Extenders as expired certificate prevents all major router functions from operating properly, even firewalls confirmed as disabled despite UI indicators.
How can businesses keep selling these as safe, workable routers if the"FCC confirms digital certificate NOT replaced, no longer recommend using ANY Netgear routers or Extenders as expired certificate prevents all major router functions from operating properly, even firewalls confirmed as disabled despite UI indicators?" Anyway to verify if firewall is REALLY disabled? Something doesn't seem right.
Update: While I did not get a response to the certificate not renewed by Netgear, I did speak with a technician today and after our long conversation I was able to login to my router. At first I had to use another browser, other than Chrome. Because I couldn't login before I was not able to get the current firmware update of 1.0.1.100 for my router. She said that update fixed a problem of not being able to log in--cause being the 1.0.1.90 firmware problem [no details]. After a long while of security hoops between my antivirus and trying different browsers and different kinds of computers, on my desktop [using Windows], I was able to go to the Netgear support page, locate my router, download the current firmware to my computer [which came in a zip file]. I removed the .img to my desktop, went back to my Google browser, entered the 192..... IP address, logged in, and via advanced, admin, firmware browse and upload I was able to login on Chrome like I used to do. I was able to view all the files at the router site. So far I can still login to the router. I plan to check on the certification when I get back with support. Hope this helps someone.
