Accessing WG302 via http since the year changed?
I am getting a "Self Certificate" page since this morning accessing my WG302's. Any insight?
We have many of these units and have just discovered the issue (that we are locked out of them).
suggested fix: to fool the internal clock
If the clock starts at about 2006 in the firmware and the unit is not able to connect to the time server to update time, then we can continue to admin the device.
In 5 years time we will not be able to log-on to the device as the device clock rolls to 2011. Then we will have to reset the device and re-enter the settings every 5 years.
The WG302 is a capable device and there have been many thousands manufactured, it is a right shame about the loss of functionality due to the certificate expiration. End of support firmware should be issued to eliminate the certificate policy. Will this sort of thing happen to all of our netgear products? Should I bother with the V2?
