Accessing WG302 via http since the year changed?
I am getting a "Self Certificate" page since this morning accessing my WG302's. Any insight?
OK here is the word from NETGEAR.
The WG302V1 and the WAG302v1 are both made end of life in 2006 and it is not possible for them to release any new update. "its not that we don't want to we cant". The only way to overcome this issue is to not let the Access point update its time. there are a couple of ways you can do this.
1) Block outbound NTP request or block the access points from getting out to the Internet.
2) Change the DNS settings in the Access point so they can not resolve externally for the NTP server.
you can do this by establishing a SSH session or a console cable and connecting to the device.
it will prompt you for the user name and password. this is what ever you have already set in the Access point.
once logged in run the following commands.
set system dns primary 0.0.0.0”
set system dns secondary 0.0.0.0”
reboot”
The AP will reboot with the factory time of 2006 and now you can get into the Graphical U.
