Turn on TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 in Advanced settings and try connecting to https://192.168.1.28 again. If this error persists, it is possible that this site uses an unsupported protocol or cipher suite such as RC4 (link for the details), which is not considered secure.

I had the exact same issue as you have and tried similar things. Worth checking your antivirus. I've got Bitdefender, and it is causing the problem.
Under online threat prevention, there is a toggle for 'Encrypted Web Scan' flick that off and I was able to access as normal. I tried adding the address as an exception in Bitdefender but that didn't work.
Either way it would be nice if Netgear recognised that when Antivirus and browsers are all considering their remote access solution is unsafe it is probably a hint that they need to update things.

whoops, I missed listing this, that was one of the first thing I tried in IE - checked all 3 TLS

This seems odd to me, since I am not seeing this issue with any of my NAS (OS-6, OS 4.2, OS 4.1). I am also running Chrome Version 70.0.3538.102. The OS is Windows 10. My RN526 is running 6.9.3.
The Chrome security panel says
Connection - secure (strong TLS 1.2)The connection to this site is encrypted and authenticated using TLS 1.2 (a strong protocol), ECDHE_RSA with P-256 (a strong key exchange), and AES_128_GCM (a strong cipher)The certificate is self-signed, so it is not trusted.

At the time, I found that I could connect via phone browser, and another computer (with same browser version) so everything was pointing at my computer. As I mentioned before I cleared cache, flushed DNS, etc all to no avail.
When I received your comment, I went back and tried again, and connected without any issue.
The only changes I see is a .net update on 11/14 (KB4459942) (I do not believe this to be the resolution as it was still not working on this date), and two microsoft windows security updates on Thursday 11/15 (KB4467107 and KB4459934). I did not make any other changes to get this working again.
