WPN802v2 browsers say connection not secure

WPN802v2

Windows 10

I cannot log in to the access point as the browser (e.g.) reports that (e.g. for Edge) :

'

The connection for this site is not secure

192.168.0.231 uses an unsupported protocol
ERR_SSL_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH

'

Is there any workaround for this please, or do I have to bin this otherwise apparently perfectly working piece of kit?

I can make a wireless connection to the device appearing as 'NETGEAR' from my android phone.

  • Holy jezz, that thing is 19 years old. Its time to retire it and get something from this decade. Its on old b/g router with super slow speeds. Unless you're on 2-6mbps dialup/dsl, this thing is bottlenecking big time. Get ride of it.

      Thank you plemans! I get the hint.

      I kind of feared the truth, always reluctant to add to the world's pile of junk.

        I'm not a fan of throwing things away either but since b/g, you've had wireless n, then AC, then AX, then AX 6ghz, and now BE, You're so far behind that if you have any decent speed at all, you'll see a massive performance boost with an upgrade.
