Remote management address

Where is the remote management address set?  On that screen I just see it listed http://<myname>.mynetgear.com but no place to change it.  When I try to access that address my broser says the security certificate is not valid.  How do I fix this?

       It's the IP address of the router's WAN/Internet interface.
    Normally, your ISP determines that, not you.

       Which browser?  Running on what?

       Ask Netgear?  I haven't been paying much attention, but I'd guess
    that a Web or forum search for the actual error message might find some
    previous similar reports.

        That is probably your browser objecting to what it sees as a security lapse.

         

        What happens with a different browser? Most will have a link that you can click.

         

        For example, here's what I see in Edge:

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

        Chrome has a similar "Get out of jail" link.
