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...
Just bought and Orbi and updated it to the latest release. Finally found a mesh router that works well but to my surpirse the certificate to routerlogin.net is STILL expired. I keep getting errors on my phone from my email client. Now it has been 7 months (2019-08-02) since this occured and Netgear appears to have done nothing.
Is this becuase:
1. Other prorites
2. Too cheap to extend the cert
3. Don't care
None of these options is satisfactory to me. I might be returning this unless somebody from Netgear can comment on why this has taken so long and what the long term solution is.

Many other router models have got self-signed certificates now. Well possible the more than non-existing quality control at the ODM has simply failed again.

Altsai keen to hear what the long term solution will be for all Netgear devices, too. Self-signed - this is what almost all other newer Netger router have got again because of some "security" specialists raised security reports about the shared private key of the former Entrust signed certs - can't be the answer, too. FWIW there can be two phases: One is the factory preset (here an ad-hoc and installation time self-signed cert is fine), the other is the every day solution once installed.
