Dear Netgear & Orbi Pro Supporter
I recently bought the Orbi SXR80 router and want to use VPN to remotely connect to my office. But I am amazed that the certificates for the connection cannot be changed in the administration interface. VPN is unusable because if the certificate falls into the wrong hands, anyone can connect to my device via VPN. This happens quickly if a cell phone is lost or stolen. Why not add a function to change the certificate? This should be very easy to do. According to the following link, this was apparently already planned:
This function is also required by other users:

I urgently ask you to install this function, because without a VPN switched on is a major security problem!

Engineering wont change anything on their own.
I fear the management does take all these as EOL and won't invest anything.... Despite we're complaining for years (for a decade at least) about the non-existing certificate support, being for both https and OpenVPN.
Netgear does -never- learn.

Frustrating and wasting my time here.
