Accessing WG302 via http since the year changed?
I am getting a "Self Certificate" page since this morning accessing my WG302's. Any insight?
Unsure if Netgear will even flinch at this but they'll loose my future business if they don't provide a more suitable solution:
I have a Netgear WAG302 Wireless Router. Starting on the year of 2011, the WAP GUI accessed via http no longer allows me to login. When I type my password I get the error: Invalid Login!
Login Again. I can login to the router using SSH with the same password that fails using the web browser GUI. This thread here indicates WG302 and WAG302 v1 are affected as a result of expired certificates. http://forum1.netgear.com/showthread.php?t=60190&page=5
I also read the WAG302 V2 certificate will expire 10/15/2012 at 3:25:58pm with 5.2.3na firmware. I understand Netgear will fix that in firmware but not for WAG302 v1 as it is at end of line. This unethical, we have a few WAG302 V1 throughout our company and because of a coding oversight, as per that article we are forced to disable NTP and point to invalid DNS to prevent the WAP from updating its time/date. This option Netgear is suggesting defeats the purpose of logging in the WAG302 V1 and renders the logs useless as the time stamps are invalid.
I sure hope Netgear retracts from their course of action to not release new firmware for WAG302 V1 as well as include in the new firmware the option to update the certificate with a self signed or CA assigned cert or code the firmware to not blow up when a certificate expires.
